Senator Goje who addressed today, December 8 at the Pantami Township Stadium of Gombe State, said that he will step aside in 2023 to give young politicians from the state chance to also partake in the political process.

He recalled that he had contested elections seven times in over 40 years of his political sojourn, but that he was never defeated in an election.
