Gombe Gov Restates APC’s Commitment to Meet Electorate's Aspirations

Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) is on course in meeting the yearnings and aspirations of the electorate in line with its Next Level agenda.  

The governor was speaking in Kumo town, Akko Local Government Area of the state at the flag-off ceremony of Youths and Women Empowerment Programme initiated and sponsored by a member representing Akko federal constituency, Hon Usman Bello Kumo at the weekend.

Yahaya said during the last election, APC pledged change and good governance in its respective capacities, and therefore, owes it a duty to keep its words through programmes and projects that would improve the lives of the people they represent.

He said elected officials from Gombe State have resolved to adopt a common stand in line with their campaign promises to better the lives of their respective constituents.

The governor said in the last 10 months, the APC government in the state has put in place measures that would help address socio-economic challenges and infrastructural decay, vowing to continue to pursue people-oriented policies for the benefit of the citizenry.

The governor hailed Hon. Usman Bello Kumo for his empowerment initiative which has distributed 120 motorcycles and sewing machines, power generation sets each and cash donation to over 400 constituents as a start-up capital for small scale businesses.

He noted that the items and cash grant, if properly handled and utilised by the beneficiaries, would no doubt have positive multiplier effect on their immediate communities and go a long way in improving  their economy and reducing unemployment among the youths.

The governor urged other lawmakers to borrow a leaf from Kumo by initiating programmes that have direct bearing on the lives of their constituents.

Yahaya used the occasion to appreciate President Muhammadu Buhari, National Assembly members and the leadership of the APC for the laudable achievements recorded by the federal government in all facets of human endeavours.

Speaking earlier, the Deputy Speaker of the  House of Representatives, Hon. Ahmed Idris Wase, said what he observed in Kumo has apparently showed how satisfied the people in Akko federal constituency are with his representation at the green chamber.

In his remarks at the occasion, Kumo, who is also the chairman of the House Committee on Police Affairs,  said he initiated the empowerment programme to support women and youths to be economically independent and self-reliant, reiterating  his pledge to remain resolute to the yearnings of his people.

Kumo reiterated his loyalty and support for Yahaya and the APC.

On his own, the state APC Chairman, Mr. Nitte Amangal, also expressed satisfaction with the representation of Kumo at the National Assembly,  saying the lawmaker is working in tandem with the party's ideologies.
