Former Gombe State Governor and senator currently representing Gombe Central in the 10th Senate, Muhammad Danjuma Goje, has assured his constituents that his empowerment programmes will continue despite his decision not to return to the Senate in the 11th National Assembly.
Goje, according to a statement issued on Monday and signed by his Special Assistant, Alhaji Ahmed Isa Kashere, gave the assurance when thousands of his supporters from Gombe Central and surrounding communities converged on his residence in Gombe.
The statement explained that the supporters were in Goje’s residence to seek clarification over speculation that he was planning to defect from the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general election.
