The Coalition for Development of Gombe State (CDGS), on Thursday passed vote of confidence in the State Governor, Muhammadu Yahaya, adding that he should be considered for second term.
According to the group’s representative Abubakar Abdullahi, Yahaya should not be deterred by comments, describing the interview granted by the PDP’s governorship candidate Muhammad Barde as unfounded.
Abdullahi said the opposition has lost it, while urging Gombe State Governor not to be distracted, adding that Yahaya has performed overwhelmingly well across human capital development.

He said, “Just as Winston Churchill echoes “you will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks”. The purpose of this press release is to pass a vote of confidence on the purposeful leadership of His Excellency, Alhaji Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, the Executive Governor of Gombe State and to encourage him to pay no attention to his detractors.
“This is necessitated by the recent frivolous outbursts of a leading gubernatorial candidate in the person of Muhammad Jibrin Barde of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Gombe State who went on air on national television stations and made ridiculous remarks against the sterling performance and personality of His Excellency, Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya of the All Progressives Congress.”
Abdullahi, while cautioning against issues that would breed rancour, advised politicians to campaign based on matters that would improve and sustain wellbeing of Gombe residents.
“The Coalition for Development of Gombe State frowns at any display of immaturity, indecorous and scandalous behaviour by all stakeholders in the build up to the 2023 general elections especially in Gombe State urging opposition leaders to campaign on issues.
“With reference to the antecedents of the so called gubernatorial candidate in question, it is not surprising that he has not forgotten his old ways of playing irresponsible politics. It is important to remind him that smear, maligning or calumny campaign against any government of the day, for which he is particularly notorious for, is undeserving and completely unbecoming of a person of his status especially at this point in time.
“It is regrettable to note that few days to the official commencement of campaigns, the opposition candidate has already lost it in the court of public opinion. Instead of engaging electorates meaningfully, by revealing his development plans in a bid to appeal to voters in line with common democratic principles, he has unnecessarily chosen uncouth and uncivilised patterns,” the coalition added.
Commenting on the alleged forgery levelled against Yahaya and his Deputy Jatau, the coalition added, “For the records, Governor Inuwa Yahaya has undeniably built a successful, envious and unblemished career with a remarkable track record of excellence, substance, industry and decent pedigree.
“The records of his work and progression in both the public and private sectors are very much available for all to see and assess. He has not only empowered, employed and supported many, but has equally mentored, groomed and nurtured many others. Any power-hungry politician that has the guts to point an accusing finger on these records shows the height of his unseriousness.”
