Goje rejects APC senate primaries result, says authentic result yet to be announced

A former Governor of Gombe State, Senator Muhammad Danjuma Goje, has raised alarm over the circulation of fake results, purportedly from the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election for the Gombe Central Senatorial District.

Goje raised the alarm in a press statement issued to journalists in Gombe on Monday by his Special Assistant, Mr Ahmed Kashere.

According to Goje, the direct primary election for the district, which was conducted on Monday in Akko and Yamaltu/Deba Local Government Areas; the two LGAs that make up the senatorial district is yet to be officially concluded and announced.

He stated that in spite of that, some sections of the media and a few social media platforms have been flooded with fabricated results claiming to reflect the outcome of the exercise.

Goje who is the current senator representing Gombe Central Senatorial District urged constituents, party supporters, and the general public to remain calm and disregard the fake results currently in circulation.

“On behalf of His Excellency, Senator Muhammad Danjuma Goje, I wish to advise the good people of Gombe Central Senatorial District, comprising Akko and Yamaltu/Deba Local Government Areas, to disregard the fake results being circulated by enemies of our great party as the outcome of the APC primary election for Gombe Central Senatorial District.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the official result of the primary election has not yet been announced. In line with the guidelines issued by the national headquarters of our party, the APC, the authentic results will be released in Abuja.

“We therefore urge all party members, supporters, and the general public to remain patient and await the official declaration of the results.

” As a respected lawmaker and elder statesman, His Excellency remains committed to due process and will continue to abide strictly by the rules and regulations of the party,” he said.
