YFM and the searchlight on KMT.
We had been brainstorming on the desired Leadership of our State - Yobe. People made their preferences on the future of our Dear State and it's potentials. We have notable Sons and Daughters who are doing very well in their chosen careers.The list of qualified individuals is endless.
The YOBE FIRST movement saw the need to identify such a Leader that will possess special qualities suitable to lead a complex and yet vibrant State like Yobe.
Who is that person that had touched the lifes of people by making a positive impact or leaving a lasting impression or making a difference in their lives. Who is that person that is emphatic to the plight of Yobe people. Who is that person that has the desire to turn Yobe around with it's vast potentials,who is that person that sees the potentials of our dynamic and vibrant Youths that are yearning for inclusiveness and change,who is that person that knows the value of women and their critical roles in societal development.Who is that person that sees the whole of Yobe as his Constituency or Zone.
That person is no other than KMT Kashim Musa Tumsah MFR.
He is a visionary,
humble, compassionate, accessible and a humanist.
He is making an impact with the Light up Yobe initiative. He does his things without fanfare,he provides Life changing interventions to communities in dire need of water, health care, educational assistance, agricultural solutions and community development.
Let's Light Up Yobe Together.
KMT all the way.
