Reports reaching Glow FM indicate that the African Democratic Congress in Gombe State has inaugurated 32 officials following the conclusion of its state congress.

The newly constituted executive is led by Keftin Amuga as State Chairman, with Ahmed Gana as Secretary.

Other members include Umar Musa Hinna as Deputy Chairman, Rabiu Ahmad (Vice Chairman, Gombe North), Salisu Inuwa Lano (Vice Chairman, Gombe Central), and Abdulkadir Mohammad (Vice Chairman, Gombe South).

Also in the executive are Abdullahi Yau Pindiga as Assistant Secretary, Auwal Abba Barde as Treasurer, Tukur Lumbi as Financial Secretary, and Abdulrahman Zaune as Publicity Secretary.

in a public address issued after the inauguration on Friday, Amuga described the emergence of the new leadership as “a turning point in the political history of Gombe State.”

“This is not just an inauguration; it is the beginning of a people-driven movement to reclaim our state from years of neglect. We are committed to building a party that reflects the true aspirations of the grassroots,” he disclosed.

The party chairman acknowledged the role of its overall state leader, Abdullahi Idris-Umar, a former Minister of Transportation, whose leadership it disclosed has helped unify progressive forces across the state.

Amuga emphasised that the ADC under his leadership would prioritise transparency, inclusiveness, and grassroots mobilisation.

“We will run an open and accountable system where every decision is subject to scrutiny. Our goal is to restore confidence in politics and give power back to the people,” he added.

He disclosed that the party was already rolling out a digital membership drive aimed at registering at least 500,000 members across the 11 local government areas.

“We are building a modern political structure driven by data and participation. From Akko to Shongom, every ward will be actively engaged,” he declared.

The party also reaffirmed its commitment to youth and women’s inclusion, promising to implement affirmative policies that would give greater opportunities to young people and women in leadership.

Reiterating its stance on security, the ADC called for tougher measures against banditry and kidnapping, aligning with national directives of the party.

“The safety of our people is non-negotiable. We will continue to advocate for decisive action to end insecurity in all parts of the state,” Amuga affirmed.

The congress was conducted across the state’s 114 wards, leading to the inauguration of new officials.
