Senator Danjuma Goje has rejected the All Progressives Congress (APC) consensus arrangement that produced the party’s senatorial candidate in Gombe State, describing the process as unfair and unacceptable.
The former governor of Gombe State is set to challenge the outcome in court, escalating tensions within the party ahead of the 2027 general elections. Goje’s move signals a looming political battle that could reshape the APC’s internal dynamics in the state.
Sources close to the development indicate that the consensus process, which was meant to unify party stakeholders, has instead deepened divisions among key political actors. Goje, a long-standing figure in Gombe politics, reportedly insists that due process was not followed in selecting the candidate.
The legal challenge is expected to test the party’s cohesion in Gombe, with observers warning that a prolonged dispute could weaken the APC’s position in the state as political activities gradually build toward the next election cycle.
