Ahead of the 2023 general election, the immediate past Governor of Gombe State, Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo, has visited his predecessor, Senator Danjuma Goje, at his Abuja residence to woo him back to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Dankwambo was accompanied by the Rivers State governor, Barr. Nyesom Wike; Senate Deputy Minority Leader, Sen. Philip Aduda; Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose; and a former member of the House of Representatives.
It was gathered that the meeting which was held behind a closed door, was to ostensibly lobby Sen. Goje to dump the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and return back to the PDP.
Goje, a former Minister of Power, was also elected governor of Gombe State for two terms between 2003 to 2011 on the platform of the PDP. He was succeeded by Ibrahim Dankwambo.
The three-term Senator representing Gombe Central Senatorial District, Goje has defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the build-up to the 2015 general elections.
