Also speaking, the National Officer of the group, Shuaibu Garba Takoki, acknowledged the fact that Gobir people were hardworking, therefore urged them to remain steadfast in their chosen trades and profession and contribute positively for the overall development of the society.
Takoki gave assurance that the Gonirawas living across the 36 states of the Federation and the FCT would be mobilised to participate in the campaign rallies of Governor Idris as well as during the voting exercises in order to secure victory for APC from top to bottom.
In his address, Sarkin Gobirawan Gwandu, Ciso Nayaya Ambursa, said apart from gathering to inaugurate new leadership of the Association they were also there to remind all members the good things the Governor had been doing to them, as such he would remain their sole Gubernatorial candidate for next year’s elections.

We will not forget the Governor in our prayers. He has appoinandd some of our members into his Cabinet. Our goal is to make him happy”.
