Former Rep member declares for Gombe governorship 

A front line member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Gombe State, Hon. Khamisu Ahmed Mailantarki has joined the line-up of those seeking the party’s ticket for the position of Governor in the 2019 general elections.

Mr. Mailantarki indicated his interest at the party secretariat before his supporters, the State chairman of the party, Mr. Nitte Amangal and his executives where he assured that if given the ticket, he has all it takes to wrest power from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, controlled State Government.

According to him, the PDP Government of Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo has failed the people of Gombe State in many areas stressing that he is the only experienced candidate that has what it takes to take power from the PDP in the State.

‘’I decided to throw my hat into the ring because APC needs someone who is capable of leading the party to victory in the 2019 gubernatorial election and if you give me the chance to fly the shining flag of our party, what was witnessed in the 2015 general election will not repeat itself’’, he stated.

He told the mammoth gathering that the APC needs a grassroots politician of his caliber who has the wealth of experience following his successes during his tenure as member representing Gombe/Kwami/Funakaye Federal constituency from 2011 to 2015.

Responding, the Gombe State chairman of the APC, Mr. Nitte Amangal commended the courage of Ahmed to vie for the exalted seat under the APC and assured all the aspirants of a fair and enabling environment at all levels to contest to fly the party’s flag.
