See What Dankwambo Tells PDP Delegates

Gombe State Governor and Presidential hopeful of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Ibrahim Dankwambo has urged delegates to the PDP national convention to be cautious in the choice of presidential candidate that will provide alternative leadership in the country come 2019.
He spoke at a meeting with the PDP elders and stakeholder in Uyo, noting that the party “needs somebody that is energetic, competent, qualify and possesses genuine certificate or credential to fly the party flag in the presidential race.”
With the array of presidential aspirants coming out under the PDP platform, Dankwambo said the burden “is now on the delegates as they need wisdom in order to make a good choice.
“In our party, we have great people of similar qualification who can fill this kind of position. So you have enormous responsibility as delegates to our party convention to choose someone that will be an alternative and acceptable to Nigerians.
“Nigerians will be looking at the PDP with sentiment and gauge whether the person the party will present is a good alternative or a person that can dance the tune of another person. They are watching us, but the only thing we need is the wisdom to choose a leader.
“The PDP today has a pool of leaders that can occupy any kind of position that is available in this country. One of such leaders is me. All that is happening today is a gap in leadership.”
He said having been a beneficiary of good leadership of PDP from 1999 till date, as a state Accountant-General, Accountant General of the Federation and governor at the age of 56; he was not too young or too old to be the president of the country.
He said: “I am a beneficiary from 1999 till date of good PDP leadership. In 1999, I was accountant general of my state, under five years I was accountant general of the federation, under five years, I was a governor and today I am still a governor. May be in the next few months a former governor, may be in the next few months a president of this country.
