While commending the organisers for bringing the event to Gombe State, Governor Yahaya described the theme as apt and in tandem with all the ongoing developmental programmes in the state geared towards making lives better for the citizens, especially the youths.
He noted that the event underscores the peace and unity existing in Gombe which has earned the state the status of the safest state in the Northeast.
“Gombe State is not just a peaceful state; we also take care of all diversities of issues. You can see that I am a Muslim; the deputy governor is a Christian. We have an Igbo man as a member of the state cabinet and a Yoruba man as chairman of Gombe State Sports Commission. We just swore in a female Chief Judge for Gombe State today and here with me is also a female member of the House of Assembly. The interest of everybody is well protected in this state,” he said.
