Addressing journalists in Cham Community on Tuesday, Dr James Chachis, Nidu Grah Cham, who is also the Chairman, Cham Traditional Council, Gombe state said the people of the Chiefdom had benefitted a lot from the road projects which had connected several villages.
In his words, “we are solidly behind His Excellency, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya because of the things he has done in our domain and also the political appointments he gave to our people.
“The governor has not denied us roads and political appointments, so why should we deny the governor our support?
“All of us collectively including my village heads, district heads and youth, we are in support of His Excellency.”
Earlier, the District Head of Tiksir, Ezekiel Luka, who spoke on behalf of his colleagues, said the wellbeing of the people of their districts plying the newly constructed roads had been improved and “we thank the governor and support his leadership.”
Luka called on the state government to extend the road from Mwona to Bambam to link up the communities and improve movement within the axis.
On his part, the Village Head of Mwona, Monday Shuwan, who represented the 12 village heads in the Chiefdom said they would support Gov Yahaya to continue delivering on the dividends of democracy.
