He went on to stress that even as the Governor had earlier mentioned a number of accomplishments during his anniversary speech, particular emphasis should be given to The Development Agenda for Gombe State (DEVAGOM), which continues to drive socio-economic growth.

“This vote of confidence is devoid of mere symbolism; rather, it epitomises the single aim and the appreciation that have informed our work together. I am deeply humbled for that and for your commitment towards her uniting objectives,” the Governor said.
He highlighted the necessity of collaboration among government agencies, accepting that political differences are expected but should not inhibit the fighting for shared developmental goals.
“Democracy entails disagreements, but we should never let these disagreements interrupt the spirit of collaboration that fuels our mission. I guarantee you I will work in full collaboration with all of us, as together we will meet the commitments made to our people,” he said at the end.
