Democracy Day: Gombe APC Guber Candidate Salutes Nigerians, Urges Unity And Prayers

Dr.Jamil Isyaku Gwamna, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for Gombe State, has congratulated Nigerians, particularly those in Gombe State, on the occasion of the June 12, Democracy Day 2026 celebration.

In a goodwill message to commemorate the day, Gwamna said Nigeria’s 27 years of democracy have been marked with measurable achievements that deserve to be celebrated.

He said that the milestone of uninterrupted civil rule has helped in entrenching democratic principles while making Nigeria a model in Africa and the biggest democracy on the continent.

“Nigeria has made some impressive progress, particularly under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu, who, through courage, is building a future for Nigerians and restructuring areas that needed urgent economic surgical operations for the country to survive.

“I urge Nigerians to remain steadfast in democratic principles and support the government’s economic reforms and national security efforts towards building an economically viable country and a peaceful society. We must uphold unity and wholeheartedly commit ourselves to prayers, seeking Almighty Allah’s divine intervention in our collective resolve to build a better state.”

While saluting Gov. Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State, Gwamna described Yahaya as a leader who has defined good governance for the people to see, feel, and touch through massive infrastructural development, improved security, economic growth, while building a business environment that has contributed to the growth of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in the state.

The APC guber candidate said that the unprecedented progress recorded by Gombe State in health, agriculture, infrastructure, education, youth empowerment, and industrialisation is proof of the quality leadership of Gov. Inuwa Yahaya.

He further described Gombe’s achievements as a testament to the resilience of the people, the support of traditional and religious institutions, the state government’s policies and programmes, as well as the support of the Federal Government.

Gwamna appealed to youth and women to be more involved in the democratic journey of Nigeria so that the growth of the country and Gombe State could be more inclusive for the overall development of Nigeria.

“I therefore urge all those who have not registered or collected their Permanent Voter Card to do so and get involved in leadership positions during the forthcoming 2027 general elections.

“We must protect our democracy by staying away from violence and embracing peace for our collective good as a people,” he said.
