EXCLUSIVE: Inside The Hijacked Gombe Central Ticket—Why APC Must Revoke Jarman Deba’s Senatorial Nomination Now Before It Implodes

On May 31, 2026, a heavily curated media statement was pushed to the public via The Punch, Nation and other media’s platforms, frantically trying to legitimize the absolute sham that occurred during the Gombe Central APC primary election on May 18.
In that publication, an APC chieftain was hired to defend the “emergence” of retired Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Mohammed Ahmed (Jarman Deba). Hyellamada confidently boasted about a “decisive mandate” of 42,785 votes against Senator Danjuma Goje’s 10,425 votes.

Today, the veil is completely torn off. We can authoritatively confirm that the entire media narrative surrounding his “legitimacy” was a carefully orchestrated facade. The public figures, the structured defense, and the polished image were completely manufactured by our media firm—and now, the truth must be told. Jarman Deba is a political liability, an unstable candidate, and a ticking time bomb that will cost the APC Gombe Central if his ticket is not immediately revoked.

*The Reality of the “Mandate”: Built on Debt and Deception*

The irony is staggering. DCP Mohammed Ahmed (rtd) claims he wants to go to the National Assembly to make laws for the Federal Republic of Nigeria, yet his entire political emergence is built on a foundation of contract evasion, bad faith, and intellectual theft.

The very media operatives who built the narrative to protect his integrity, who engineered the press strategies to counter Senator Goje’s formidable camp, and who risked their reputations to sell him as a “fresh direction” have been completely abandoned. After using our intellectual property to secure his standing, Jarman Deba went entirely silent, refusing to settle the financial obligations for the services rendered.

If a candidate cannot honor a basic contract with the team keeping him politically alive, how can the electorate trust him to honor a single campaign promise? This is not a leader; this is an authoritarian operating under the dangerous delusion that his past police uniform entitles him to free civilian labor.

*A Defective Candidate: Why Gombe Central Must Reject Him Completely*

The people of Gombe Central must not buy into this synthetic campaign for a single kobo. Jarman Deba represents the worst kind of political transition:

1. *The Command-and-Control Delusion:* He treats his campaign partners like desperate scavengers begging for crumbs. He brings a rigid, unyielding police arrogance into a democratic space that demands humility, negotiation, and transparency.

2. *Unstable Grounding:* The “42,785 votes” hailed in the media mean absolutely nothing when the candidate has already alienated the very architects of his public image.

3. *Total Tactical Incompetence:* By actively making bitter enemies out of the media gatekeepers who hold his internal campaign data, strategic vulnerabilities, and backroom secrets, he has exposed his entire underbelly. He is structurally incapable of surviving the brutal onslaught of the general elections.

*An Urgent Call to the APC Leadership: Retract This Ticket Now*

This is a direct warning to the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at both the state and national levels.
The disquiet in Gombe Central is real, and the current ticket is dead on arrival.If the party wants to win Gombe Central, the APC must immediately retract the senatorial ticket from DCP Mohammed Ahmed (rtd). Leaving this ticket in his hands is an open invitation to electoral slaughter. The opposition and rival political machineries do not even need to fight the APC; they simply need to sit back and watch Jarman Deba’s campaign implode from the inside out due to his own arrogance and financial misconduct.

To the electorate: Do not waste a single vote on an unyielding liability.

To the APC: Strip him of the ticket now, or prepare to lose Gombe Central entirely.

In our next episode we will unveil his ties to the dead of Mohammed Yusuf, and the rise of insurgency in Nigeria.

Jarma is simply a wolf in sheeps clothing.
