The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Gombe State has inaugurated a 32-member executive following the successful conclusion of its state congress.
The newly formed leadership is headed by Keftin Amuga as State Chairman, alongside Ahmed Gana as Secretary. Other key positions 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).
Additional members of the executive include Abdullahi Yau Pindiga as Assistant Secretary, Auwal Abba Barde as Treasurer, Tukur Lumbi as Financial Secretary, and Abdulrahman Zaune as Publicity Secretary.
In a statement issued after the inauguration, Amuga described the development 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.
He also acknowledged the influence of the party’s state leader, Abdullahi Idris-Umar, a former Minister of Transportation, noting that his leadership has helped unite progressive stakeholders across the state.
Amuga stressed that his administration would focus on 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 further revealed plans for a digital membership drive targeting at least 500,000 registrations across the state’s 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 reiterated its commitment to empowering youths and women, promising policies that would enhance their participation in leadership roles.
On security, the ADC called for stronger action against banditry and kidnapping, aligning with broader national concerns.
“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 held across all 114 wards in Gombe State, culminating in the inauguration of the new executive members.
