Bello Usman Kumo Chief Whip, House of Representatives National Assembly Abuja
Ahead of the 2027 General Elections, our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), has since been making preparations aimed at a successful election and victory for the party in the forth-coming polls.
As a leader and critical stakeholder in the party, l have taken part in the lawmaking processes that produced the Electoral Act 2025 (As Amended). I have also participated in all the decision making process of our great party as regards “Consensus or Direct Primary” arrangement to choose the flagbearers for elective positions at various levels.
This was contained in a statement signed personally by Hon. Bello Usman Kumo Chief Whip, House of Representatives National Assembly made available to newsmen.
My interest and desire to take a shot at the governorship position in Gombe State was not hidden. I had keenly awaited the decision of the party either for a direct primary contest or consensus for the APC governorship ticket to enable me contest in the forth-coming gubernatorial election.
However, with the consensus option validly adopted and affirmed in accordance with the party’s position, l am left with no better option than to toll the party line.
As a loyal party man, l therefore would like to express my candid support and confidence in the process and outcome of the just concluded Gombe State APC Congress that has produced a consensus candidate and flagbearer for the governorship race in Gombe State.
This l do with a strong conviction and confidence in the leadership of the President and Commander In Chief of the Armed Forces, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) and in my unshaken belief in the leadership style of our leader and Governor Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya, himself is a proven Democrat.
I hereby call on my teeming supporters and loyalists across the State to abide by the party’s position and brace up to work to ensure victory for all our candidates in the next elections.
