The emir of Gujba in Yobe State, Alhaji Mai Muktar Ibn Ali Gangarang has applauded President Muhammadu Buhari for nominating Barrister Bashir Bukar Ba’ale as the chairman of the Governing Board of the North East Development Commission (NEDC).
The monarch said he lacked words to thank Buhari for considering one of his sons for the noble assignment.
He said, ” Mr President, your good intentions at salvaging our zone out of its stagnant economic point and rebuilding our battered image with other states of the federation is clearly producing positive results.”
“Your Excellency, with this wise decision of yours, I’m sure, and no doubt that you have gotten a reliable and dependable team player whose loyalty is never being questionable in any way.”
Alhaji Ibn Ali assured Buhari, the president-elect Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the governors of the North East states that Ba’ale would justify the confidence reposed in him.
He pledged that the emirate would continue to support programmes and policies of the government for the benefit of Yobe and the North East states in general as the emirate awaits the confirmation of Ba’ale.
The emir charged Nigerians to support the incoming administration to change the narratives and bring development to the North Eastern Nigeria.
While congratulating Ba’ale on his new appointment, the emir wished him a successful tenure in office even as he expressed confidence in his ability to meet the expectations of the president.
