” Gombe state has indeed lost an illustrious son, political icon, fine parliamentarian, grassroots mobilizer and respected leader who lived a life of service to the state, Nigeria and humanity”.
Governor Yahaya, on behalf of the government and people of Gombe state, joined the immediate family of the deceased as well as the entire members of the Muqaddam family in mourning the distinguished political figure who lived an exemplary life and made his marks in the political history of Gombe state and the country in general. He consoled them to take solace in the fact that the late Garkuwa left behind impressive track records of hard work, dedication and selfless service.
The Governor prayed Almighty Allah to forgive his shortcomings and reward his good deeds with Aljannat Firdaus.
