Gombe Agog for Tinubu as Yahaya Reaffirms His Commitment to APC Victory – THISDAYLIVE
Segun Awofadeji in Gombe
Gombe State Governor, Alhaji Muhammadu Yahaya, has declared Gombe State firmly behind President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027, pledging to deploy the state’s formidable political machinery and grassroots mobilisation networks to secure victory for the president and All Progressives Congress (APC) at all levels.
Yahaya attributed Gombe people’s support for Tinubu to the federal government’s development interventions in the state, particularly in agriculture, livestock development, infrastructure, health, energy and other strategic sectors of the economy.
He spoke yesterday at the inauguration of the Gombe State chapter of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, where 26 campaign vehicles donated by the movement were presented to strengthen grassroots mobilisation and expand APC’s political reach across the state.
Expressing appreciation to Tinubu for his administration’s commitment to Gombe State’s socio-economic development, the governor singled out the federal government’s support for the Livestock and Agro-Development Zone in the state, and the ongoing construction of the Gombe-Biu Super Highway as landmark interventions with far-reaching economic implications.
He stated that the president’s approval of N120 billion for the livestock development project would help transform agricultural production, strengthen livestock value chains, create employment opportunities and stimulate economic growth across Gombe State and the wider North-East region.
Yahaya maintained that the people of Gombe had compelling reasons to appreciate the president’s commitment to the state’s development, adding that the goodwill generated by these interventions would further strengthen the APC’s political base.
He pledged to galvanise party leaders, stakeholders and grassroots structures across the state to mobilise support for Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.
The governor also commended the founder and Grand Patron of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, for donating the 26 vehicles, describing the gesture as a significant boost to APC’s grassroots mobilisation and campaign efforts.
Earlier, Tompolo, represented by High Chief Kestin Pondi, said the vehicles were provided to enhance the movement’s mobilisation capacity, facilitate political engagement across constituencies and communities to deepen public awareness of Tinubu’s policies and vision for Nigeria.
He commended Yahaya for the transformation taking place across Gombe State, citing investments in road infrastructure, education, healthcare, agriculture, and economic development.
Speaker of Gombe State House of Assembly, Hon. Mohammed Luggerewo, commended PBAT Door-to-Door Movement for supporting APC’s mobilisation efforts in the state.
National Coordinator of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, Hon. Sunday Asuku, urged residents of Gombe State to participate actively in the movement’s activities and mobilise support for Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
In his remarks, Gombe State Coordinator of the movement, Khalid Kumo, thanked Yahaya for the support extended to the organisation since it commenced operations in the state.

Jobberman Nigeria, Nigeria’s leading career development and recruitment solutions company, has launched ‘Her Next Move’, a campaign designed to empower young Nigerian women with practical skills and confidence to pursue career opportunities and participate more fully in the workforce.
Through free online training, the initiative supports women aged 18 to 35 as they prepare to enter the workplace, advance into better roles or explore freelance and gig work.
Built around the message ‘Your Future. Your Skills. Your Move’, the campaign places female inclusion at the centre of career development, encouraging women to take an active role in shaping their professional futures. It connects the ambition to progress with an accessible starting point: learning skills that can help women prepare for their next opportunity.
‘Her Next Move’ recognises that career progress looks different for every woman. For a graduate, it may mean preparing for a first job. For a woman already working, it may involve developing the skills to take on greater responsibility or pursue a new role. For another, it may mean understanding how to navigate freelance work and participate in the global gig economy. The campaign brings these aspirations together through a shared emphasis on learning, preparation and action.
This Initiative by Jobberman in partnership with Mastercard Foundation promotes two courses: Jobberman Soft Skills Training and Becoming a Successful Global Gig Worker. Both courses are free, with a free certificate upon successful completion.
Jobberman Soft Skills Training focuses on workplace readiness, helping participants build the professional skills needed to navigate work and prepare for career progression. Becoming a Successful Global Gig Worker introduces participants to the demands and opportunities of freelance and gig work, supporting women interested in exploring career paths beyond traditional employment.
By making the training and certification available at no cost, ‘Her Next Move’ reduces the financial barrier to participation and encourages more young women to invest in their professional development. Its focus extends from raising awareness of learning opportunities to helping participants follow through and complete their chosen course.
To bring the campaign to life, Jobberman is working with young creators who are sharing personal stories about ambition, career transitions and the role of learning in their journeys. Through videos, social media posts and follow-up conversations, the creators encourage young women to reflect on their own goals and identify the practical steps they can take towards them.
These stories are intended to make career development relatable, connecting everyday aspirations with opportunities to learn. Across the campaign, the question “What is your next move?” invites women to define progress for themselves and begin preparing for it.
‘Her Next Move’ reinforces Jobberman’s and Mastercard Foundation’s commitment to supporting career development and expanding access to learning for young Nigerian women. By combining free skills training with relatable storytelling and encouragement to take action, the campaign seeks to help more women feel prepared to pursue their ambitions.
