Nworie said, “Senator Goje had a serious encounter with some political thugs who burnt tyres on the main road as he was about to enter the state capital around International Conference Centre on the Bauchi – Gombe Road.
“Policemen stationed at the area refused to call the thugs to order as they were watching them cause mayhem in the state,” Nworie added.
Speculations are rife that there could be a rift between the State Governor, Inuwa Yahaya and Goje.
Meanwhile, the Central Bank of Nigeria has revealed it spent over N58 billion to print 2 billion Naira notes.
