A group, Concerned Peoples Democratic
Party Youths, has thrown its weight behind the Governor of Gombe State,
Dr. Ibrahim Dankwambo, for the 2019 presidential election.
In a statement signed by its
coordinator, Mr. Sani Bello, on Tuesday, the group extolled the virtues
of the
55-year-old governor, describing him as the “brightest and best
president for Nigeria in 2019.”
The group said it was backing Dankwambo
because it wanted the country’s future president to be a scholar “with a
high level of educational qualification and cerebral development, with
the capacity for sound judgment based on experience from acquired
multi-disciplinary training.”
It also called on Nigerians not to
settle for a “mediocre” as president of the country in 2019 when it had
the best and brightest people who could lead the citizens to a bright
future.
The statement said, “A world-class
accountant-cum-financial expert, Dr. Dankwambo is a purposeful, focused,
detribalised and young. He is one Nigerians can entrust with governance
and be assured of a quick turnaround in the nation’s fortunes via the
deployment of sound skills at his disposal to manage men and resources
for the greater good of Nigerians, being an administrator and a
technocrat.
“He has demonstrated unusual ability
over the years, even while at the Central Bank of Nigeria, and was
noticed by the then-Gombe State Government, which quickly appointed him
as the Accountant-General of Gombe State, and upon noticing his feats in
Gombe State, he was immediately snatched by the former President
Olusegun Obasanjo administration, who made him the Accountant-General of
the Federation, while in 2011, he heeded the call and invitation of his
people to lead them as the executive governor; and he was so elected.
“There is no gainsaying the obvious that
Dankwambo is simply the perfect man for the job of the president in
2019 due to his vast experience as an administrator, technocrat and a
world-class financial manager.
