The Gombe state governor was first sworn in May 29, 2011 but he did not swear in commissioner until December 24, 2011 in an event that was described as a jamboree which held in the 10,000 capacity stadium https://www.thenigerianvoice.com/amp/news/79757/gombe-end-of-a-dilly-dally.html And while that might be called him being new to things and trying to find his feet, he did it in 2015 but it seems like he was trying to outdo what he did in 2011 as he did not swear I his cabinet until (even I can’t believe this) May 2016 meaning he went almost an entire year. https://www.latestnigeriannews.com/news/2957224/one-year-after-dankwambo-swearsin-12-commissioners.html Is this how he wants to go...
