Gombe State Beneficiaries Slams Senator Goje, Launches 'N-Power Campaign Poster' for Buhari's Re-election | CNR
The controversy trailing the call by the Senator representing Gombe Central Senatorial District, Danjuma Goje, for the federal government youth empowerment programme, N-Power to be scrapped for not being felt in his state of Gombe, has attracted another backlash from volunteers in the state.
The volunteers explained that Senator Goje, as a former governor of the state and serving Senator, should instead of raising unnecessary alarm, find ways of confirming and sustaining the programme in state.
In a statement signed by the State Npower ambassador, Muayiwa Abdulhamid, the volunteers said they found it necessary to respond and set the record straight, because the senator's comments are not only untrue and baseless but stands against thousands of less privileged Nigerians who are now benefitting from the federal government social investment programmes.
