He announced his decision to open offices for the Buhari campaign organisation as well as the APC across the 114 wards and 11 local government areas in the state.

The APC governorship aspirant took a swipe at the presidential ambition of Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo, stressing that the people of Gombe State will not be fair to Nigerians if they failed to support Buhari come 2019.

He advised Dankwambo to jettison his presidential ambition as the people of the state would not support him against President Buhari.

Mua’zu commended leaders of the party at the national level and singled out Senator Danjuma Goje, for changing the face of the state as governor.

He, however, cautioned party officials against being lured with political appointments by the PDP government.

“We hear  of plans to break our ranks by luring our officials with political appointments. We must resist this attempt so we can be strong enough to send the PDP government packing come 2019,” he said.
