Goje Reaffirms Loyalty to APC Amid Defection Rumors
Senator Danjuma Goje, a former Governor of Gombe State and current Senator representing Gombe Central, has publicly reaffirmed his commitment to the All Progressives Congress (APC). This declaration was made during his appearance on the BBC Hausa programme “Shirin Hantsi” on Tuesday.
Goje's statement comes in response to recent speculation regarding his political future, particularly following the emergence of DCP Mohammed Ahmadu (rtd) as the APC candidate for Gombe Central. Reports had suggested that Goje was being courted by opposition parties, including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Thousands of his supporters gathered at his residence in Gombe to express their loyalty and seek guidance for the upcoming 2027 general elections. In his remarks, Goje clarified that he has not defected to any political party and remains a founding member of the APC, stating it would be inappropriate for him to switch parties at this stage of his political career.
