Governor Inuwa Yahaya And The Legacy Of Continuity

By Malam Fa’izu Muhammad

Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya has not only successfully completed all projects he inherited in the State, but also embarked on new ones. Several of them with direct impact on the lives of the people.

Despite the economic downturn and shortfall in fiscal allocation from the Federal Government, the Inuwa Yahaya-led Administration has been able to pay workers’ salaries regularly, and embark on life-impacting projects such as human capital development through youth and women empowerment, skill acquisitions, etc.

It is equally important to note that, since his assumption of office, Governor ) Inuwa Yahaya has taken several decisions that have properly affected the course of governance that aligns with the vision of the founding fathers of Gombe State.

It is in this consciousness that many in the state are craving for another term in the office for Dan Majen Gombe, a man whose socioeconomic activities has galvanized a moral crusade for a rebirth of a new Gombe built on the solid foundation of sustainable growth and development.

More often than not, analysts are unanimous in their disposition that another term in office for Inuwa Yahaya, which would be founded on public good and going by the altruistic fundamentals as showcased by the intellectualism in his programmes and policies, is why he should be encouraged to run.

A summation of the way and manner Inuwa Yahaya has driven governance and politics so far, shows that the man is best situated to govern a complex Gombe State, with equity and justice and fairness as his watchwords.

With programmes on going to place Gombe State on a new era of true greatness, Gombe State is believed and like any other developed society will grow to greatness if another opportunity is given for Governor Inuwa Yahaya to consolidate on this vision, great management of resources as well as great leadership would enable the state attain the capacity and reach its nadir.

Undoubtedly, Gombe State needs leaders of inspired idealism, leaders like Dan Majen Gombe, to whom are granted great vision, who dream greatly and strive to make their dreams come true, who can kindle the people with fire from their own burning souls. This is exactly what Governor. Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya stands for.

Going by his leadership records and convictions in the last about three years has been able to prove on the sanctity of selfless service, grand vision, integrity and the courage to stay the course he represents.

A man who has been prepared for his today’s role as a consumable intellectual, Inuwa Yahaya sees the correlation between the impact of his long years in private service as a preparation for what he is going through today, the wheel of development seem to be on course in Gombe State. Concerned about the drive for a greater relevance for Gombe State in the scheme of things, Dan Majen Gombe has always said ‘the drive to maximize the state’s rich potentials is now, particularly in tackling poverty, unemployment amidst plenty’.

A man who reckons with the notion of attitudinal change in the state’s politics, without mincing words, the Governor has raised the bar of quality politics by identifying the issues of good governance and development as his sole purpose for being in governance. Governor Inuwa Yahaya, a man who is not associated with combative politics, for Dan Majen Gombe, governance is aimed at creating public value and enhancing citizen’s satisfaction by way of an enabling environment of equal opportunity, inclusiveness and the rule of law.

Today, it is not in doubt that a new set of values that reduce inequality and injustice have been made possible by Inuwa Yahaya. This entire feat was made possible by re-inventing the ladder of social progress which has realistically assisted those who are disadvantaged. A man who well fit into the next dispensation, a dispensation of continuity and consolidation, Inuwa Yahaya has combined his meritorious private sector background, his antecedents, as a great thinker and strategist to move Gombe State steps forward in the last few years.

There is no gain saying that under Inuwa Yahaya, the state gets true transformation. There was the need to overhaul all the various systems from education to the economy and infrastructure. Beyond sweet talk and abstract slogans, one will not be far from saying the truth, Gombe is on the threshold of genuine transformation, evidenced in outstanding results and the peace and tranquility that abound the state.

The continuity and consolidation project being clamored for by those who certainly are in the majority, is purposefully aimed at lofty accomplishments in all sectors that was begun by the present administration. This if achieved according to many, would place Gombe State under a hard-working servant leader, with integrity, who presently is at the helms of affairs for another four years would make the state a model, a bastion of development, that is driven by public private partnership.

With an abiding faith in Allah and will of the people of Gombe State Dan Majen Gombe will continue to govern the state beyond 2023 consolidating on his giant strides achieved so far.

With Governor Inuwa Yahaya at the helm of our affairs, our state’s development is assured!
