Governor Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State has expressed deep concern over the extensive damage caused by hoodlums who hijacked the nationwide protest against hunger and hardship. The violence led to significant destruction of both public and private properties in Gombe State.
After inspecting the affected areas in the Gombe metropolis, Governor Yahaya visited several damaged facilities, including the Gombe State Bureau of Public Service Reforms, the Bima Lodge, Kumbiya-Kumbiya Primary Healthcare Centre, and the Blue Jay Motor Park, where six Sienna vehicles were destroyed. The governor also toured the Gombe Main Market, where he met with business owners and offered words of consolation for their losses.
“Gombe is known for its peace, and we must preserve it. We cannot allow actions that threaten our stability. “We have no state other than Gombe. We understand that there are challenges and hardships in the land, but we must not resort to violence and destruction of our state to express our feelings or concerns. “Let me make it clear: we are not against peaceful protest.
