The All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has vowed to bring prosperity to Gombe State and make it one of the richest states in the country if voted into office.
Addressing a crowd of supporters at Pantami township stadium in Gombe, Tinubu said he will make sure the exploration of the newly discovered Kolmani oil field in Gombe translates into meaningful development in the state in particular and the country at large.
“If I am voted into office as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Kashim Shettima as my running mate, you will know prosperity. I will make sure the exploration of the new Kolmani oil brings prosperity and development to Gombe State and make it one of the richest states in Nigeria,” he said.
Tinubu, who was in high spirits, jumped and danced with the crowd, urging them to vote for Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya for a second term in office.
The surging crowd, chanting Ko Gezau (No shaking) to Tinubu, went into wild jubilation and danced with him as he raised his two hands to appreciate them.
He said the country should not be allowed to fall into the hands of those who will destroy it again, adding that he can only build and consolidate on the achievements already recorded by the current administration of the APC.
The National Chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu also urged the youths and the people of Gombe to ensure that the APC candidates at all levels are voted into office in Gombe.
He said the large turnout recorded at the rally showed clearly that Gombe belongs to APC.
