Gombe State Governor Muhammadu Yahaya urged political leaders to prioritise peace and unity ahead of the 2027 elections during the state’s 30th anniversary celebrations.
The remarks were made as Gombe State marked 30 years since its creation in 1996, a milestone that the governor used to call for a peaceful electoral environment.
Yahaya stressed that unity and stability are essential for the state’s development and that political actors must work together to avoid conflict.
The call comes as Nigeria prepares for the 2027 general elections, which will include presidential, gubernatorial and legislative contests across the country.
The governor’s message was delivered in the presence of state officials and members of the public, underscoring the importance of a peaceful and orderly electoral process.
