The Gombe State House of Assembly has passed a unanimous vote of confidence in Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, CON, in recognition of his administration’s remarkable strides as it marks its sixth anniversary.
The Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Abubakar Mohammed Luggerewo, announced this during a solidarity visit by members of the state legislature to the Governor at the Council Chamber of the Government House on Thursday, May 29, 2025.
Addressing the Governor during the visit, Speaker Luggerewo said the resolution followed a motion moved by the Majority Leader and adopted during plenary on May 27, 2025, in which lawmakers reviewed the Governor’s outstanding leadership and development milestones across various sectors.
"The House considered a motion to pass a vote of confidence on His Excellency in view of the undeniable achievements of his administration over the past six years. The motion was supported and unanimously passed," the Speaker stated.
He emphasized that while the Governor’s anniversary broadcast highlighted several achievements, key initiatives—especially the Development Agenda for Gombe State (DEVAGOM)—deserved greater emphasis.
"The DEVAGOM blueprint remains a visionary document that has placed Gombe State on a trajectory of inclusive growth, innovation, and good governance. Its implementation is one of the defining legacies of this administration," Speaker Luggerewo noted.
Presenting the formal resolution to the Governor, the Speaker reiterated the Assembly’s solidarity with the administration and its continued support for all policies and programmes advancing the development of Gombe State.
In his response, Governor Inuwa Yahaya expressed deep appreciation to the legislature for the endorsement, describing it as a powerful affirmation of shared vision and mutual respect between the executive and legislative arms of government.
"This vote of confidence by the Honourable House is a validation of the transparency and performance-driven ethos of our government. I sincerely thank you for your support, collaboration, and belief in our administration's agenda for sustainable development."
The Governor also stressed the importance of institutional harmony while acknowledging that political differences must not derail collective progress.
"Politics may sometimes bring divergent views, but we must not allow that to erode the strong, cooperative relationship we have built. I assure you of my continued support as we work together to deliver on our mandate," he added.
The event was witnessed by the Deputy Governor, Dr. Manassah Daniel Jatau; Secretary to the State Government, Professor Ibrahim Abubakar Njodi; Head of Civil Service, Ahmed Kasimu Abdullahi, and other members of the State Executive Council.
