The Gombe State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal, on Tuesday, upheld the election of Governor Inuwa Yahaya of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the March gubernatorial 18 poll.

The tribunal led by Justice S.B Belgore dismissed the petition filed by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its candidate, Mohammed Barde, for lacking in merit.

DAILY POST recalls that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had declared Inuwa the winner of the poll.

But the PDP candidate who was not satisfied with the outcome of the election, approached the court to nullify the governor’s victory, alleging that the election was marred by irregularities, including vote-buying.

Ruling on the petition, the tribunal declared that the allegations were baseless, stating that the petitioners failed to prove the alleged election malpractices.

The tribunal, as a result, struck out the petition.

The court also struck out a petition filed by the African Democratic Congress, ADC, against the election of Governor Yahaya and his deputy, Manasseh Jatau.

The ADC’s petition was based on alleged discrepancies in names on the certificates submitted to INEC by the deputy governor.

The petition was, however, dismissed on the grounds that the case was a pre-election matter.

Congratulations His Excellency, Alhaji Inuwa Yahaya.

Governor Inuwa is one of the best Governors in Nigeria. This man doesn't make noise but does his best.

I can still remember the first time I met with him at the government house, Gombe; he is humble, quite, intelligent and smart.

People of Gombe state loves Gov. Inuwa Mohammadu Yahaya.

False!!

Danjuma Goje and his successor Ibrahim Dankwanbo did very well in Gombe State, when you go to the state you won't believe the level of Infrastructure they build.....
Until all of a sudden a Hausa business man who is initially from Kano took over and made it a politics of enmity and oppression.
Even as far as going to want to install Muslim Traditional ruler in a Christian dominated Chiefdom.
He has done terribly bad
I am mad at Danjuma Goje for bringing this man in 2019, only for him to reverse and wanted him out in 2023 which was too late....
Monster he created.

Lest I forget Goje and Dankwanbo where both PDP and where both not Hausa/Fulani, Inuwa Yayaya is APC.
That's my state.
