Immediately the results of the election started trickling in, analysts concluded that the defeat suffered by the once impregnable Gombe PDP could be traced to its seeming forgetfulness of abysmal performance at various levels of governance in all the senatorial districts of the state.The party seemed to have neglected calls by political stakeholders, particularly the well known injustice meted out to All Progressives Congress chieftains like Dr.
He said: “When I spoke in October last year on the danger of allowing injustice during the primaries that saw Dr. Jamilu Gwamna denied of his political right, I warned the party but it fell on deaf ears. Today the debt of injustice is fully paid to PDP. But a grassroots mobiliser, Alhaji Mohammed Ibrahim, said he saw the defeat coming long before now, remarking: “We saw it; spoke about it, but they neglected us. Bad governance and neglect of the priorities of the people caused PDP the woeful defeat, which has turned out as sweet taste of victory for APC.
PDP chieftain added: “It is on record that we asked the governor to allow us conduct free, fair and credible primaries, but he over ruled us. Today, that decision to deny the wish of the party’s loyalists at the grassroots and the most popular aspirant Dr. Gwamna the right to fly the party’s governorship ticket has not only cost us this defeat, but has equally cost the governor his senatorial ambition. The governor must enjoy the regrets, while he would be in political exile.
