ADC inaugurates 32-member state executive in Gombe
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has inaugurated 32 state officials in Gombe State following the conclusion of its state congress.
The new executive team is headed by Keftin Amuga as State Chairman, while Ahmed Gana will serve as Secretary.
Other key officials include Umar Musa Hinna as Deputy Chairman; Rabiu Ahmad as Vice Chairman for Gombe North; Salisu Inuwa Lano as Vice Chairman for Gombe Central; and Abdulkadir Mohammad as Vice Chairman for Gombe South.
In the same lineup, Abdullahi Yau Pindiga was appointed Assistant Secretary, Auwal Abba Barde became Treasurer, Tukur Lumbi was named Financial Secretary, and Abdulrahman Zaune took up the role of Publicity Secretary.
In a statement 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 said.
The party chairman acknowledged the role of its overall state leader, Abdullahi Idris-Umar, a former Minister of Transportation, whose leadership it said 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 said.
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 stated.
The congress was conducted across the state’s 114 wards, leading to the inauguration of new officials.
