Ibrahim Sani Shawai, spokesperson for the APC governorship candidate in Gombe State, Dr Jamilu Isyaku Gwamna revealed that job creation, human capital development and economic empowerment of youths and women will be central to the candidate’s agenda if elected in 2027.

Shawai said Gwamna’s vision was to improve living standards through strategic investments in education, healthcare and skills acquisition, stressing that meaningful development must go beyond physical infrastructure.

He explained that the candidate believed that empowering people with knowledge, skills and access to essential services was critical to building a productive economy and creating opportunities for self-reliance.

“Building roads and bridges is important, but investing in human capital is what guarantees sustainable development,” Shawai said.

He added that Gwamna’s experience in the private sector, alongside his contributions to job creation and support for education and healthcare, had shaped his approach to leadership and development.

According to Shawai, the APC candidate also intends to sustain beneficial policies introduced by Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya while developing new strategies to tackle persistent challenges facing residents.

He described the 2027 governorship election as an opportunity for the people to choose leadership capable of strengthening the state’s economy, expanding employment opportunities and improving their welfare.

Shawai stressed that good governance requires fairness, unity and respect for public opinion, adding that citizens should be actively involved in shaping and implementing policies that affect their lives.

He noted that Gwamna’s ultimate goal was to build a state where young people could realise their potential, women could participate fully in economic activities, and development would translate into tangible benefits for all residents.
