Dankwambo's Name Sparks Controversy on APC Campaign List

In Gombe State, confusion has emerged following the inclusion of former Governor Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo's name on the All Progressives Congress (APC) Campaign Council list. Dankwambo, who leads the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, is contesting for the Gombe North Senatorial seat in the 2027 general elections under the PDP platform.

The list, published in national dailies, lists him as a member of the APC campaign structure, stirring confusion among PDP supporters. The PDP has officially disassociated Dankwambo from the APC's campaign council, calling the list fake and intended to mislead PDP members.

The campaign council, chaired by Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, includes prominent APC figures and lists Dankwambo at number seven among 666 members. The PDP's State Publicity Secretary, Abdulkadir Ahmad Dukku, stated that Dankwambo was unaware of this development, which raises questions about his political allegiance.
