Goje Heads to Court Over APC Gombe Ticket Dispute

A fresh political crisis is brewing in Gombe State as former governor and serving senator, Danjuma Goje, has rejected the All Progressives Congress (APC) consensus arrangement that produced the party’s senatorial candidate.

Goje described the process as unfair and unacceptable, arguing that it failed to reflect due democratic consultation and transparency within the party structure.

He maintained that the consensus decision did not represent the will of party members in the state.

The senator has now concluded plans to challenge the outcome in court, setting the stage for what observers believe could become a major legal and political showdown in the lead-up to the 2027 general elections.

Sources close to the development indicate that Goje is determined to pursue all legal avenues to contest the validity of the selection process, raising concerns about internal cohesion within the All Progressives Congress in Gombe State.

The dispute is expected to test the party’s conflict resolution mechanisms, as stakeholders worry that prolonged litigation could weaken its chances in the next election cycle.

As of the time of filing this report, party officials in Gombe have yet to issue an official response to the senator’s decision.
