According to Mu’azu, the move was to reciprocate the love of the senate President not only to the good people of Nigeria and North East but particularly to Gombe state citizens.
The party faithful made the pledge during the launch of Gombe North Empowerment Program by Sen Sa’idu Alkali (Gombe North) last Sunday in Gombe.

Mu’azu stated that with the support of the senate President who had visited Gombe four times between 2019 and now, the least his group and the people of the state could do to appreciate Senator Lawan was to purchase a nomination form for him in 2023.
The chieftain added that the senator had made reconciliatory efforts towards resolving any misunderstanding amongst party members in Gombe and that it was in the interest of the party’s unity.
