The ruling All Progressives Congress in Gombe State has expressed shock over what it described as a clear volte-face by Senator Mohammed Danjuma Goje on the reconciliation between him and Governor Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya spearheaded by the party’s national leadership.
Goje had on Sunday claimed that the reconciliation moves spearheaded by the leadership of the party to unite the various factions in the state had stalled and that nobody should blame him for whatever misfortunate that could befall the party in the next election if the cracks were not mended at once.
But the APC in Gombe State on Monday countered the former governor, saying that he was simply looking for an excuse to leave the party and join the opposition party, saying that the peace deal had been implemented accordingly.
The party in a statement signed by the state Publicity Secretary, Ambassador Moses Kyari, and made available to Vanguard on Monday, said it was appalling that Goje would come out to accuse the state governor of jettisoning the reconciliation arrangement, saying the Gombe Central Senator was only looking for an excuse to dump the APC.
The party said: “It is all an arrangement by Goje himself to find a lame excuse to leave the APC. This has been his style for those that know his political trajectory. The APC national leadership should take note of this.
“We note that Goje’s game is to always portray himself as too important and relevant in the affairs of the party without recourse to other leaders of the party in the state,” Kyari noted.
