A group, the Coalition of Gombe
State Indigenes has rejected Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka’s verdict that the state
Governor, Ibrahim Dankwambo, has performed well.
The indigenes, in a statement
yesterday, advised the Enugu-based Catholic priest to visit Gombe, check the
deteriorating state of infrastructures in the state, before reaching such a
conclusion.
The group said that rather than
consolidate on the developmental strides of previous administrations, Dankwambo
has reversed the fortunes of the state.
The group said “Mbaka was not
correct in his assessment that Dankwambo, based on his performance in Gombe,
would make a better President than President Muhammadu Buhari.”
The indigenes were reacting to
suggestion by the catholic priest that Nigeria needed a capable President as
opposed to Buhari.
Mbaka, the Spiritual Director of
the Adoration Ministries, Enugu, had, in his New Year Eve sermon, said the
President had failed Nigerians, suggesting that Dankwambo should be considered
as the President’s replacement.
While rejecting Mbaka’s
prediction, the Gombe indigenes, in a statement by Muhammad Jibrin, said if the
priest knew Dankwambo well, he would not have made such a suggestion.
They said, “If the Rev. Fr. is
well apprised of the state of affairs of Gombe State, he will certainly not
recommend Governor Dankwambo as a worthy replacement for the great President
Buhari.
“Perhaps, some examples will show
Rev . Fr. Mbaka the extent of the damage that Governor Dankwambo has done to
our state.
“Perhaps, Rev . Father Mbaka
should come clean and tell Nigerians what his major motivation is in making
this recommendation.
“We are aware he only received a
handshake from the frugal President Muhammadu Buhari when he last visited Aso
Villa.
“I advise Father Mbaka to travel
to Gombe State and visit the state university , hospitals and water projects in
Gombe town and all the other 10 local governments of Gombe State and tell
Nigerians his findings.”
