Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Political campaign promises are a common feature of electoral campaigns, serving as a key tool for gaining voter support. However, the implementation of these promises is often inconsistent, leading to public disillusionment and reduced trust in the political process. In Gombe Local Government, Gombe State, political campaign promises have been a focal point of elections, but there is often a gap between promises made by candidates and their actual delivery in office. This study will examine the relationship between political campaign promises and their subsequent implementation in Gombe.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Many political candidates in Gombe make ambitious promises to voters during elections, but there are frequent instances where these promises are not fulfilled. This gap between promise and delivery raises concerns about the accountability of elected officials and their commitment to serving the public. This study seeks to investigate the reasons behind this disconnect and its implications for governance in Gombe.
