A political rift has emerged within Nigeria’s ruling party after Muhammadu Danjuma Goje rejected a proposed consensus arrangement in Gombe State.
Goje’s stance marks a significant setback for the All Progressives Congress (APC), which has increasingly relied on consensus agreements to manage internal contests and maintain unity ahead of key political processes.
While details of the disagreement remain limited, the senator’s rejection underscores growing tensions within the party at the state level, where competing interests and ambitions continue to challenge efforts at cohesion.
Political analysts say the development could trigger fresh alignments within the APC in Gombe, as stakeholders weigh their options in the face of an unsettled consensus process.
