The Social Democratic Party ( SDP) in Gombe state has said the press release signed by the Director General and Press Affairs to Governor Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya Ismail Uba Misilli and made available to Journalists in Gombe debunking the  alleged report that Gombe state governor Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya at Gombe airport had a misunderstanding with the acting chairman of Social Democratic Party Comrade Adamu Abubukar Modibbo was false.

Also In a statement signed by the Acting chairman of Social Democratic Party in Gombe state Comrade Adamu Abubakar Modibbo said there was a  rift between him and the governor when they were about boarding a flight from Gombe to Abuja

According to him, let set the records straight, it is an undeniable fact that during the said flight, the Acting Chairman of SDP Gombe State, Comrade Adamu Abubakar Modibbo, extended due courtesy and respect to the Governor, in line with the decorum and maturity expected in political engagements. However, in a shocking display of intolerance and lack of statesmanship, Governor Inuwa Yahaya responded with aggression, launching into a heated verbal attack, and even attempting to physically assault the SDP Chairman.

Despite this provocation, Comrade Modibbo demonstrated exemplary composure and maturity by refusing to engage in any retaliatory action. The heated exchange persisted until the flight landed in Abuja, where the matter escalated the statement said.

He said the press statement from the Governor’s media team, which denied this incident, is nothing but an attempt at face-saving propaganda. Instead of addressing the Governor’s unacceptable behavior, they have resorted to name-calling, gaslighting, and outright denial. This further exposes the administration’s habitual disregard for decorum, democratic engagement, and opposition voices.

He challenge the Gombe State Government to prove that this incident did not happen rather than issuing empty rhetoric. Let it be known that intimidation and reckless conduct will not deter the SDP from its commitment to providing a credible alternative for the people of Gombe State.

We urge the public to see through this desperate attempt to cover up the truth. The people of Gombe deserve leaders who embody humility, maturity, and respect for democratic principles, not those who resort to intimidation and suppression.

However, the Director General Press Affairs to governor Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya Ismaila Uba Misilli said there is none that will distract the good work that governor Yahaya is rendering to it’s citizens, adding that the party want to mislead the public for their selfish interest he noted.
