APC Senator representing Gombe Central in the Nigerian Senate Muhammad Danjuma Goje has announced his intention not to contest elections again.
Goje, a former Governor, who disclosed this during a programme titled ‘Goje Empowerment Programme’ at Gombe’s Pantami Stadium, said he would however remain active in state and national politics.
“Having contested and won all seven elections, in addition to being a Minister for the country, I strongly believe that Allah (SWT) has been extremely kind to me,” said the serving Senator and former Minister of State (Power and Steel). “I believe not many Nigerians are so lucky and blessed.”
He continued that “having reached an advanced age, I wish to formally inform you that I have decided not to contest any election again. For the avoidance of doubt, I will not contest any election at all levels,” he said.
The Senator said he will give younger politicians the opportunity to also grow and showcase their God given talents.
