He further advised the electorate and politicians to always prioritize the interest of Gombe State before making any political decision for the overall betterment of the state and country at large.
He also charged the people to ensure that they get enlightened politically ahead of the elections to be able to make the right choice for Gombe and Nigeria.
The attitude of not wanting to participate in electoral processes starting from not getting voter card and others should be jettisoned because it is the voice of the majority that count in a democracy and every vote matters for the majority to carry the day, he added.
