The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) says the Governor of Gombe State, Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo’s achievement
is enough to instil confidence in the people that he can rule the country in
2019.
Reacting to the raging
controversy surrounding the New Year predictions of a Catholic priest, Reverend
Father Ejike Mbaka, the deputy national chairman of the party, Sen. Babayo
Gamawa told reporters in Gombe on Sunday that though only God knows the future,
the PDP would be glad to have Dankwambo as its flag bearer come 2019.
Gamawa said, “The issue of future
is only known by God, but there are people from different faith, who were
making predictions which sometimes become real sometimes it doesn’t. If his
prediction becomes reality, PDP will definitely be glad to have someone like
him as the party’s flag bearer.
“Considering how he transformed
Gombe State from what it was to its present stage, going by his record, having
excelled through his professional carrier to the rank of Accountant General and
Governor of Gombe State, he has the prerequisites qualification and curriculum
vitae to preside or to be the flag bearer of our party comes 2019.”
Recall that Rev Fr. Mbaka in his
new year message warned President Muhammadu Buhari not to contemplate seeking
for a second tenure in 2019.
The prophecy read in part, “If
Mr. President, Buhari will not continue, if you go to Gombe, it was a rural
state, the present Governor there, Ibrahim Hassan, has turned that place into
almost an ultra modern city and that man was a former Accountant General of the
country. If you go to Gombe, you won’t know Gombe again; why can’t such a
person come out; I don’t know the party he is in; and he is still a young man;
in his early 50s, whether in PDP or APC, I don’t know but whoever is doing that
kind of magic in Gombe can handle Nigeria. A man who did PhD in Accountancy,
chartered in marketing, chartered in Accountancy, a lot of things, a guru, we
need somebody with such aura.
“And the Gombe people will tell
you, he does not discriminate between Muslims and Christians, he is shielding
even Christians there. Some pastors he gave them land, gave land for churches.
I am not campaigning for him, but I am talking about somebody who can lead us
forward, somebody with vision, with agenda, to change Nigeria is not difficult;
wherever such a person is, let his party make him available for Nigerians to
see it.”
