Group faults APC south stakeholders vote of confidence on Gombe gov
A group under the aegis of Tanagale Intelligentsia Movement (TIM), has faulted the vote of confidence passed on Gombe State governor, Muhammadu Yahaya,who was recently presented with certificate by All Progressives Congress (APC), stakeholders from Southern district.
According to a statement issued by the group’s Organising Secretary Benjamin Dangoma and Publicity Secretary Yusuf Mela which was made available to our correspondent, the group lamented the decision of leaders from the southern district to endorse the governor.
Recall that there have been a widespread of affirmation by traditional rulers, state house of assembly, the three senatorial districts affirming the governor’s performance, and endorsing him for another term of office.
The group wondered why out of all the groups that endorsed the governor for a second term, leaders from the southern part of the state comprising; Balanga, Billiri, Shongom, Kaltungo local government areas had to crown it with certificate.
TIM said, “Out of the 3 senatorial districts of Gombe State, only Gombe South stakeholders passed a Vote of Confidence on the Governor to the point of presenting a certificate in his office on the 20th September 2021 led by Sen. B.K. Amos of all people. You see why we are not taken seriously?
“We want to inform the group of selfish politicians who passed a Vote of Confidence on Governor Inuwa Yahaya that the only reason why APC is the Government in Power in Gombe State is simply because we felt betrayed by PDP, therefore gave a protest vote to the APC. The will power of the people is beyond you or your selfish ambitions.”
The group bemoaned the reason leaders, whom are subject to the will of electorates would affirm performance without recourse to the people.
“In their communiqué, they claimed to have “critically assessed and evaluated” the performance of Governor Inuwa Yahaya and thereafter adjudged him to have fulfilled all his campaign promises.
“The question that begs for answer is who made them Judges over the performance of the Governor when they themselves are under review and their performance is grossly below expectations.
“Though we know that a failure will always want to feel good by praising the failures of his friends just to make them feel safe and comfortable around one another,” the group added.
