		Yobe had been one of the traditional states in the Northern part of Nigeria where the controversy surrounding the oral polio vaccine, OPV, has been most pronounced.
		Perhaps, the most effective public relations tool deployed by the Yobe State Government to win converts for the immunisation programme, was the involvement of traditional rulers who were made to publicly endorse the OPV, by openly vaccinating children with it during immunisation days.

		Yobe's political history has so far demonstrated that the state is a strong united entity where brotherhood and the principles of live-and-let-live represent the people's political tradition.
		Yobe State was established in 1991 and has had about three different regimes since then.
		Incidentally, all the politicians who have indicated their interest to contest for Yobe's governorship position are unfortunately crippled by the fact that they are all newcomers to the governmental tradition of the state; they are perhaps nurturing new dreams which may possibly invalidate the existing order.

	Weekly Trust - ‘Taliban’ of Nigeria: Who Are They?
		In what was apparently a surprising strike, the Hijrah group arrived in Damaturu, the Yobe State capital just past midnight on Wednesday presumably from the Kanamma push area to attack the A Division Police Station and to engage the policemen on duty in a fierce gunbattle.
		As all these were going on, people in Borno and Yobe State have been trying to understand why at all the confrontation came about and where it will likely lead to.
