Key members of the late Alhaji Abubakar Habu Hashidu's political circle have declared their support for Dr. Jamil Isyaku Gwamna, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for Gombe State in the upcoming 2027 election. This significant backing was formalized during an extensive meeting involving Hashidu's political associates and prominent family members.

The declaration signals a consolidation of political forces within the state, aligning influential figures behind Gwamna's gubernatorial bid. Hashidu, who served as the first civilian governor of Gombe State, remains a respected figure, and his political family's endorsement carries considerable weight.

This move is seen as a strategic step in the pre-election landscape, aiming to bolster Gwamna's campaign efforts. The unified front presented by Hashidu's loyalists is expected to strengthen the APC's position as the 2027 election approaches.
