A political group in Gombe State, known as the Alliance for Good Governance, has thrown its weight behind the movement by opposition parties in the state to form a coalition to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 election.

Recall that opposition parties in the state, including the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), and Social Democratic Party (SDP), held a meeting a few days ago to discuss the formation of a grand coalition to unseat the APC in the next elections.

The meeting was convened by the 2023 PDP gubernatorial candidate in the state, Mohammed Barde.

The Alliance for Good Governance coordinator and convener of the meeting, attended by hundreds of youths, Ahmed Usman Haruna, stated during the meeting held at the Emerald Hotel on Tuesday, that they had converged to express support and back the coalition of opposition parties in the state.

According to him, the coalition is necessary if they truly want to bring about a change of government in the state.

He lamented that the state residents and “all Nigerians” experience hardship under the APC government at the state and federal levels.

“We are here to declare our support for the way out that we are seeing on the ground through the movement for the coalition in Nigeria. Of course, a coalition is the way out. If APC is in government, then the only thing that we need is an alternative political party that will get them out of office,” he opined.
