Security agencies in Gombe State particularly the Police and SSS have been called upon to as a matter of necessity thoroughly investigate the recent attack on Sen Muhammad Danjuma Goje which nearly led to breakdown of law and order in Gombe.
The call was made by a frontline politician in the state, Dr. Jamilu Isyaku Gwamna who reacted to the incident in a statement made available to Journalists in Gombe on Tuesday describing the attack as “undeserving, disrespectful and condemnable”.
Dr. Jamilu Gwamna who is the MD/CEO of Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO), said that Senator Danjuma Goje remains a leader and a father figure whose influence has not only benefitted Gombe State, but the North-East subregion and Nigeria as a whole.
Speaking through his media aide, Ibrahim Sani Shawai said that, “this is undeserving and highly disrespectful to a leader and a father whose influence has not only benefitted Gombe but Northeast and Nigeria as a whole”.
The statement also reads, “the attempted blockage by whoever organised such, should be seen as a major set back on the ideals of what politics represents in Gombe state”.
He also stated that, Gombe remains peace loving by all standards adding that, this explains why everyone sees it as home and such must not be jeopardized on the altar of personal interest or unpopular politics.
The politician also said that, “We have been known to be well cultured politically in Gombe state and we must continue on that part by continually giving honour to whom honour is due.We celebrate our heroes in Gombe, we don’t disrespect them, hence the attack which is alien to us must not be allowed to repeat itself especially in the interest of peace and development going into 2023”.
He pointed out that Senator Danjuma Goje has raised and mentored many, as well as empowered a lot of persons who are very much relevant in the political architecture of the state today. As such, Goje must be given that salute as a political general.
He further stressed that attempt to deny Senator Danjuma Goje access to a state he so contributed to its development in an unmatchable manner is an act of ingratitude which Gombawa, home and abroad cannot be proud of.
“Let’s embrace peace and stability as the way to go because we have no other state to call home except Gombe”, he stated.
Jamilu Gwamna, therefore, called on security operatives to conduct a thorough investigation in order to ascertain if the attack was sponsored or not and anyone found guilty must be dealt with in line with the provisions of the law.
