Goje Disowns ADC Membership Card, Reaffirms Loyalty to APC
Former Governor of Gombe State and senator, Danjuma Goje, has distanced himself from reports linking him to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), declaring that he remains a committed founding member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Denial of ADC Membership
Goje dismissed the circulation of an alleged ADC membership card bearing his name, describing it as false and misleading.
According to him, he has no affiliation with the ADC and has not at any time registered as a member of the party.
Reaffirms APC Loyalty
The lawmaker emphasized his longstanding commitment to the APC, noting that he played a role in the party’s formation and remains proud of his association with it.
He stressed that he has no intention of leaving the ruling party.
Political Context
The clarification comes amid heightened political realignments and speculations ahead of the 2027 general elections, with several high-profile politicians being linked to alternative platforms.
Observers say such denials are becoming common as parties reposition and attract new members.
Implications for Opposition Dynamics
Analysts note that Goje’s reaffirmation of loyalty to the APC may:
- Strengthen the party’s internal cohesion
- Dampen speculation about major defections
- Affect opposition calculations
Call for Caution
Goje urged the public to disregard the alleged membership card and verify information before drawing conclusions.
The Road Ahead
As political activities intensify, more clarifications and alignments are expected from key figures navigating Nigeria’s evolving political landscape in Nigeria.
