He said the giant strides and remarkable achievements recorded by his administration would not have been possible without the support of the Assembly.
He said: “Speedy passage of bills we sent to legislature ever since this government came on board has contributed immensely in implementing our developmental policies and projects”.
Yahaya said his esolve to transform the state during the electioneering campaigns remained fresh in his memory, saying it was the demands and the needs of the people that the present administration in the state was capitalising on to bring succour to the people.
He said with the vote of confidence passed by the Assembly, his administration was encouraged to do more for the growth and development of the state, adding that with such solidarity, his government would continue to fight for the social, economic and political emancipation of the people.
“We have resolved to fight and we shall fight together. Our fight is to bring peace, to bring tranquility and to bring improvement on the lives and lots of our people, that is the essence of governance; the House is out for that, the executive arm is out for that and I believe we even have the support of the judiciary as far as this matter is concerned. So the fulcrum that supports democracy is working well in Gombe State”.
The governor said his administration would continue to work hard to achieve the lofty goals set out by the state government for the benefit of the people.
He thanked the people of the state for their support and engagement without which, he noted, nothing could be achieved.
