Haidar: Youngest Gombe Guber Aspirant Pledges Supports
for APC Candidate
He was not lucky to pick the All Progressives Congress (APC)
gubernatorial ticket for Gombe State, in Sunday’s governorship
primary election.
But Abubakar Haidar Aliyu, believes he has garnered valuables
lessons and experience that will put him in good stead the next
time he vies for the state’s top job.
The youthful governorship aspirant, while thanking his
supporters shortly after the result of the primary election was
announced in Gombe, pledged to drum massive support for the party’s
standard bearer, Alhaji Muhammad Umar Yahaya in next year’s general
election.
“I strongly believe we have proven the potentials of youths and
we are glad we participated in the transparent process of screening
and primary election. We will support fully the flagbearer, Alhaji
Inuwa who emerged victorious at the primary.”
Haidar Aliyu, son of the first female President Court of
Appeal’s President, Justice Zainab, noted that despite the
electoral setback he suffered at the shadow poll, he remains
committed to the stellar ideals of promoting youths development,
women empowerment and poverty alleviation.
“Like I said during my campaign tours, if elders possess the
experience, the youth have the energy, if elders are the planners,
the youth are the builders, if elders are blessed with the benefit
of hindsight, the youth are enriched by foresight, powerful dreams
and visions. WE will therefore be ready to support our leaders for
the growth of our state and nation to greatness.”
He advised the APC flagbearer to also assiduously pursue
developmental-targeted policies and programmes that will emancipate
the state from the stranglehold of poverty, backwardness and
underdevelopment.
The winner at the Primary, Inuwa Yahaya, beat 8 others to emerge
the APC candidate in the forthcoming governorship election. Inuwa,
who was the APC governorship candidate in the 2015 governorship
election in the state, beat other top contenders including Senator
Umar Idris, a former house of representative member representing
Yamaltu Deba federal constituency, former senator representing
Gombe Central and former minister of transport . Inuwa Yahaya got
859 votes out of the total number of 1721 votes casts to beat
Mohammed Dan Barde, Farouk Bamusa, Idris Umar, Umar Kwairanga, Habu
Muazu, Dasuki Jalo, Khamisu Mailantarki and Aliyu Haidar.
