Dankwambo made this known after briefing journalists on his familiarization campaign tour of Edo, Delta and the South East states comprising of Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, Abia and Imo states held between August 29 and 31, 2018.
Speaking on his behalf on Monday, his campaign spokesman, Dr. Ayoade Adewopo argued that Nigerians are under the shackles of corruption, underdevelopment,sufferings allegedly caused by the ruling All Progressives Congress stressing Dankwanbo would save Nigerians of elected as president next year.
He said, “The campaign organization appreciates the Governors and good people of Edo, Delta, Anambra, Eboyin, Enugu, Abia and Imo state for the warm reception and hospitality they have to our campaign team. We are rest assured that the rescue mission for Nigeria is on course.”
“Governor Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo is a thorough-bred PDP member even as a professional and a technocrat who diligently served three different Presidents as the Accountant General of the Federation after his appointment as a card-carrying member of the party.
“He is forever grateful to the party and will never do anything to bring disregard to the party. Dankwambo was appointed Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF) by President Olusegun Obasanjo and further served Late President Umar Musa Yar’adua and President Jonathan Goodluck meritoriously before he was elected as the Governor of Gombe state in a record-breaking election in 2011. He was thereafter elected for a second term in 2015.”
“He has never decamped or allied with the opposition for any political reason even when the Buhari political tsunami swept across Northern Nigeria at the 2015 polls – Dankwambo stood firm and returned as Governor of Gombe state with overwhelming votes.”
“Gombe State has been one of the fastest developing states in Nigeria with the positive and progressive governance of Dankwambo.”
“No state compares to the infrastructural development of Gombe State in the last seven and half years. No politician in Nigeria has the national insight of Dankwambo today as his days as Accountant-General of the Federation has proven. He brought about very laudable unique and outstanding positive reforms to that office,” Adewopo said.
Speaking further, the spokesman stated that on assumption of office, Dr. Dankwambo started by innovating the single treasury account (STA) process and the completion of the Treasury House which was under construction to give all Public Accountants a pride to call theirs.
“Today, the Treasury House stands out in Abuja as one of the most magnificent edifice in the nation’s capital. He brought up-to-date financial statements of the federal government which were in arrears.
As at the time he left office, the financial statements of the federal government were up-to-date. All arrears of financial statements had been prepared, audited and published.”
“The revolution in the public sector towards a cashless economy began with Dr. Dankwambo, bringing about the implementation of the e-payment system which was completely a new innovation in the financial services of the government at the time.
“Dankwanbo’s achievements and contributions to the development of the state was part of the strongest points for his reelection campaign and still is a reference by his party, the PDP.”
Adewopo, a former governorship aspirant in Osun emphasized that Dankwambo’s government was prided by the PDP and many Nigerians as “the face of good governance in Nigeria.”
Adewopo added that “his performance won him several nicknames like ‘Talban Aiki’, ‘Super Governor’ ‘Tomorrow’s President’ and many more accolades. He has done so well and he is generally acclaimed as the man with the magic touch in governance.
“Ibrahim Dankwambo will declare war on poverty and injustices in Nigeria if elected president come 2019. Nigerians will soon see a wind of genuine renaissance blowing all over their land. What Nigeria needs at this time is a man who can take the country on a journey to its best self, a man who can re-energise a people who have been so badly led that they have accepted a certain impotence as the reality of their lives. Nigeria needs a man who can fire its imagination, release the people from shackles and make them blossom.
Dr. Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo is that man. What Nigeria needs is a leader, a warrior on the frontline in the fight against poverty and all kinds of injustices our people are suffering today and Dr. Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo is the type of leader our founding fathers envisaged for Nigerians – a complete Statesman,” he concluded.
