Goje's Daughter Resigns From Gombe Government Over Feud With Her Father by KB007: 4:24am On Nov 07, 2021
The daughter of former Gombe Governor Danjuma Goje, Hussaina, on Saturday resigned as the state’s Commissioner for Environment and Forest Resources, a day after suspected political thugs assaulted her father.

Mr Goje, who is a serving senator, has a political rift with incumbent Governor Muhammadu Yahaya.

In a press statement she made available to journalists in Gombe on Saturday, Ms Goje said her resignation was a personal decision.

“Today, Saturday 6th of November, I wish to inform the general public and media organisations that I, Dr Husaina Goje, has tendered my formal resignation, from my position as Commissioner for Environment and Forest Resources to His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Gombe State, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, effective today.

“I also wish to inform that my resignation was made based on my personal reasons, with this I wish to show my appreciation for the opportunity given to me by His Excellency the executive governor to serve as a member of his executive council in this administration.”

On Friday, the convoy of her father, Mr Goje, was attacked by suspected political thugs while the senator was on his way to the state capital to attend a wedding.

According to residents who witnessed the incident, the suspected thugs blocked the Gombe-Bauchi highway near the International Conference Centre in Gombe and set bonfires on the road.

Mr Goje’s media aide, Lilian Nworie, in a statement she issued after the incident in Gombe in Gombe, said Mr Goje accused the aide-de-camp of the governor of organising the blockade and attack on his convoy.

“He arrived Gombe from Abuja, via Gombe Airport in Lawanti, peacefully until the governor’s aides blocked the road,” the statement said.

“The distinguished senator’s trip was peaceful until when the governor’s aides, including his aide-de-camp and his driver, blocked the road. For two hours, they unleashed terror on Senator Goje and those in his convoy.

“It is unfortunate that one life was lost and many cars vandalised, including the Senator’s vehicle. They smashed the windscreen.

“All efforts to make the governor’s aide-de-camp remove the blockade yielded no result as he insisted that he got instruction from above that the former governor should not be allowed into the town,” the media aide said in the statement.



Reacting to the incident, the state government said the former governor “caused a breach of peace in the state capital with his visit to the state.”

In a press statement signed by the State Commissioner for Information and Culture, Julius Ishaya, the government accused Mr Goje of mobilising and arming thugs from various LGAs under the pretext that his supporters were accompanying him from the airport into the state capital.

“Recall that during the last Eid el-Kabir Sallah celebration, the same person sponsored some thugs that threw caution into the wind and went on a rampage, leading to the loss of two lives. Also, just last week at Deba in Yamaltu Deba LGA, the same scenario played out at the instance of the Senator.

“It is sad that Goje has not left his old ways and is bent on bringing back his brainchild (Kalare) to unleash mayhem and bug the peaceful atmosphere of Gombe State.

“Gombe state has been witnessing relative peace and harmony due largely to the determination and avowed commitment of Governor Inuwa Yahaya in that direction and therefore the government would not stand by and watch desperate politicians unleash terror and violence on innocent citizens to the extent of getting people killed.

“While sympathising with the families of the victims, Government commends the security agencies for their timely intervention in bringing the ugly situation under control.

“His Excellency, Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, as the Chief Security Officer of the State, will not renege on his responsibilities and therefore will do everything necessary to protect the lives and property of the citizenry. The government will make sure that perpetrators of the unfortunate act, no matter how highly placed, are brought to book,” the statement said.

Mr Goje and the governor are members of the same ruling All Progressives Congress, which took over the state from the Peoples Democratic Party at the 2019 general elections.

We shall continue to see more of this fights between serving governors and their predecessors until a free and fair internal mechanism devoid of any kind of manipulation and hand picking by outgoing governors to choose who succeed them in office.
Though not a bad idea to support someone to succeed you especially when you consider that your program continuity but it shouldn't hand picked, as in most cases these former governors still want to dictate the governance of such state from the comfort of their bedroom somewhere in Abuja. They dictate how resources, political appointments etc are allocated.
The case of Lagos,Kwara,Kano,Gombe,Akwa Ibom are some of the states where these cold wars eventually erupts to political "buga buga" unfortunately taking the lives of die hard supporters and foot soldiers who will never learn.

And fortunately he has seen enough.

Since the event happened, not a word from the APC headquarters cautioning the warring parties which shows they don’t care.

So, Goje will defect to PDP and he would help to ensure that APC loses Gombe as well the 2023 presidential elections.

The northern APC is making things difficult for whoever will get the APC ticket from the south. Because bloc votes is not guaranteed him anymore which is but brightening the chances of PDP northern candidate.

Let me say it again. APC will zone her ticket to the South &PDP's will likely be won by a Northern candidate. The North careless about party but care much about individuals. Most Northern PDP members worked against PDP for the benefit of Buhari. Buhari's atrocious & divisive governance style which most Northern APC politicians have copied has pitched the electorates against the party. Many of the big wigs are out to destroy the party with impunity. They know a hurricane is about to sweep through Nigeria's political landscape thus the stage managed crisis. The new INEC technology will drastically reduce the so called '12million votes'. Most Southerners don't know that APC is dying in the North. Most households in the North ain't only battling with extreme poverty foisted on Nigeians especially the North by Buhari's myopic & failed leadership but are victims of terror in their home states & communities. Seriously Northerners wants APC out, APC has not shown much commitments in carrying all shades of interest along. Obj &Gej did well for Nigeria so the concern now is not about tribe, religion or region but competence. Most Northerners are either quiet or playing along with APC but even the APC here know dooms day awaits them.

Succinctly captured!

But zombies keep living in foolery.

They believe Tinubu, their personal lord and savior, or Osinbajo, his boy boy, would defeat a northern candidate by landslide in 2023 because a certain Abiola did it in 1993.
