Gombe legislators pass vote of confidence in Gov. Yahaya
The Gombe House of Assembly on Tuesday passed a vote of confidence in Governor Inuwa Yahaya.
Presenting the legislature’s resolution to the governor, Speaker Abubakar Luggerewo said the legislators chose to pass the vote of confidence in Mr Yahaya following his developmental strides and quality of leadership.
According to him, the resolution also secured the support of members who were unavoidably absent but joined them virtually.
He noted that the governor’s performance had attracted their constituents, adding that the governor’s “remarkable achievement speaks across” health, education, and agriculture.
”Also, the state has been enjoying relative peace as well as empowerment programme, for both youths and women. We are 100 per cent satisfied with your quality of leadership; you are a prudent manager in terms of handling the state resources,” said Mr Luggerewo. “We unanimously agreed to pass a vote of confidence on you; all members irrespective of political affiliations, we say 4+4.”
The 24-member parliament comprised 20 members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and four Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members.
Only 18 members were spotted at the sitting, with only one PDP legislator present. Yerima Gaule, a member representing Kaltungo East, moved the confidence motion, seconded by Musa Buba, representing Balanga North State constituency.
Responding, Mr Yahaya said he had been motivated to do more for.
He thanked the lawmakers for the confidence reposed in him, assuring them that the promise he made 27 months ago remained fresh.
The governor pointed out that the essence of government is to bring peace and development, promising that his administration will continue to work hard to achieve more.
