A Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Auwal Abdullahi, has described Governor Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo’s presidential ambition as a mission impossible.
Abdullahi who stated this while speaking with Journalists in Gombe on Wednesday wondered how Dankwambo who had failed in governing Gombe state with only 11 local government areas could be the President of the country that has 774 local government areas.
“Because when you look at Dankwambo those that are very close to him, his own associates those that are together with him he is not handling them the way it supposed to be they supported him thinking that he is going to work for the people and what people want and the progress of the entire people of Gombe state but he failed.
“Director General of his campaign 2015 is no longer with him, even though he is in PDP, but not in Dankwambo’s camp, he is currently together with Atiku camp, why, because he doesn’t have the capacity of handling Nigeria.
“How can you expect the one who cannot control those that are with him, within just only 11 LGA, to lead a big country called Nigeria, impossible, so we are not going to support him,” Abdullahi said.
According to the PDP Chieftain, in the entire PDP, it is only Ahmed Makarfi that will compete with President Buhari, come 2019 general elections.
He said that Makarfi has capacity, capability and ability to lead the country.
“Because when you look at Kaduna state, Makarfi led Kaduna state for 8 years, serve as senator and look that the way he united the PDP umbrella, they came together, look at the PDP now, it’s a united party now, even other parties are looking to come back to PDP,” he said.
On Atiku Abubakar, the Chieftain said “Atiku and Co. are the causes of all problems in Nigeria, entire 16 years you are mentioning the problems we found ourselves, looters, whatever we are mentioning, Atiku and Co. are the genesis of all what is happening to Nigeria, so Atiku doesn’t have any capacity even in Northern Nigeria.
“I’m from the Northeast, but I’m not going to support Atiku, so we are now solely behind Makarfi because we are looking at Nigeria, not our own zone, as northeast Nigeria, from where ever you come, if you can give good leadership, we are supporting you”, he assured.
