“Dr. Gwamna’s emergence as the flag bearer will not only bring joy to the people of Gombe State but will equally drive meaningful development,” Sambo stated, adding that the workforce is ready to support his ambition in every possible way.
In his response, an appreciative Dr. Gwamna thanked the KEDCO delegation for traveling all the way from Kano to show their support.
