Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya and Governorship Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in company of some party stalwarts, was in Yalmatu West and East yesterday to present flags to standard bearers of APC for the House of Assembly election ahead of the 2023 general elections.
A statement signed by the Director-General (Press Affairs) Government House Gombe Ismaila Uba Misilli, dated Sunday January 29, said that in Difa, the governor’s campaign train was received by a jubilant crowd of young men, women and the elderly with chants of solidarity songs in what can best be described as a triumphant entry of a leader who came, saw and conquered.
Addressing thousands of APC supporters and well wishers in Difa, Governor Inuwa said the presentation of flags to standard bearers of the party for the state House of Assembly is aimed at galvanising more support for the candidates from top to bottom using the pedigree and landmark achievements of the party as a justification.
He sought the continued support and solidarity of the electorate, assuring them that his administration remains steadfast in the provision of infrastructure and other social services that have direct bearing on the lives of the ordinary people.
” We have substantially kept to our campaign promises. To the best of our ability and within limited resources, our administration has been able to make impact in all the 114 political wards of the State either through road construction, health care delivery or educational and human capital development among others”.
Governor Inuwa Yahaya thereafter presented the APC flag to Musa Manaja the candidate for Yalmatu West Constituency in the state House of Assembly with a call on him and party bigwigs in the area to work for the victory of the APC.
The situation was no different in Wade, Yalmatu East, where Governor Inuwa Yahaya presented the APC flag to the candidate there, Hon. Adamu Sale Pata.
The Governor mobilized the mammoth crowd to keep faith with the APC in the interest of accountable and transparent leadership.
Govermor Inuwa broke a cheering news to the people of Wade when he said the ongoing road construction from Garin koshi be extended to the community for ease of commuting.
In their separate remark, the standard bearers, Musa Manaja and Sale Pata assured Governor Inuwa Yahaya of a landslide victory of the APC in their respective constituencies.
Both flag bearers described Governor Inuwa as humane in character and decisive in the provision of good governance and democracy dividends.
Governor Inuwa’s campaign train equally drove through Shinga and other communities in Yalmatu Deba.
The APC train also berthed at Deba, Kuri, Lambam, Dasa , Dumbu, Tsando, Garin Baraya and other communities in Deba emirate, where massive crowds received the Governor and his team at all the places visited.
The Governor’s motorcade drove through the recently awarded road from Kuri to Lamban which is under construction.
