Governor Muhammadu Yahaya of Gombe State has expressed his confidence in contesting against anyone who wishes to bid for the governor’s office in the state in 2023.
Politics Nigeria recalls that Jubrin Danbarde, who had sought to contest against Yahaya under APC, defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for a better chance.
Allaying the fears of his supporters, Yahaya, during his speech at the All Progressives Congress Square Gombe, when he launched an empowerment scheme in support of the less privileged from Jekadafari, said he’s in high spirit to contest the election.
“Considering the overwhelming support I am now enjoying from the people of Jekadafari and the state at large, I have every confidence to face whoever wishes to run for the governorship seat in the state,” he stated.
Yahaya, however, assured the people of Jekadafari and the state at large, of more dividends of democracy.
