Muhammad Danjuma Goje, a former Governor of Gombe State and Senator representing Gombe Central, has stated that he is still contemplating his political future. Both the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) are reportedly pressuring him to change parties, as the All Progressives Congress (APC) is not offering him their ticket.

At a rally in Gombe, Goje confirmed his continued membership in the APC and pledged to remain loyal to the party, urging supporters to cooperate with party leaders. Despite his extensive political career spanning nearly 45 years, Goje emphasized that he has always won his contests and has never defected from any party. He explained that he decided to re-enter politics in 2023 due to the pressure from his supporters, who had initially convinced him to retire from politics in 2019.

Goje assured his supporters that his empowerment initiatives would continue regardless of his political affiliation. However, he faced a setback when the APC primary elections committee in Gombe elected DCP Mohammed Ahmed (Rtd) as the candidate for the Gombe Central Senatorial District seat.
