Dr Jamil Isyaku Gwamna (Sardaunan Gombe), has joined the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Ibrahim Sani Shawai, Media Aide to Gwamna, who disclosed this in a statement, also said his principal had exited the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) about a fortnight ago.
Gwamna announced his entry into PDP when he met with a former governor of the state and Gombe state PDP leader, Dr Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo in Abuja on Wednesday.
“Your Excellency we are here today for two things: to visit you and cement our existing relationship as brothers and to also inform you that I have returned to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
“I assure you that we are going to unite ourselves to return PDP to the government in the state come 2023,” he was quoted as saying.
In his response, Dankwambo thanked Gwamna and his entourage for the visit, welcomed him to the PDP and assured him of his support as well as the unity of the party.
“Sardauna is my brother and I welcome him back to our fold,” the former governor acknowledged, promising, “we’ll work together for the unity and the success of the party.”
Dankwambo further advised the Sardaunan Gombe and his entourage to go back to the grassroots and mobilise people for the party ahead of the 2023 general elections.
