Gombe State Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya sends a list of 23 commissioner nominees to the Gombe State House of Assembly for screening and confirmation, a step aimed at reconstituting the State Executive Council. Multiple outlets report that the governor’s request is conveyed through a letter dated June 29, 2026, addressed to the House Speaker, Abubakar Mohammed Luggerewo. The Assembly is expected to begin its formal process for due diligence, including screening of the nominees and any public hearings the House may consider in line with constitutional requirements.
While the sources agree on the number of nominees and the referral to the Assembly, they do not all provide detailed information on the nominees themselves. The Nigerian Eye notes that details such as the nominees’ portfolios, where assigned, and their local government areas are not yet publicly released by the Assembly. The Clerk of the House is expected to present the list to the Speaker and members to enable legislative action and confirmation proceedings.
Further updates are expected as the Assembly processes the nominees.
