Dr. Ibrahim Dankwambo, governor of Gombe State and poster child for distinction in leadership in Nigeria, is no doubt a rare gem, a man known to be in a class of his own and we as a people must not shy away from the fact to our own detriment.

Dankwambo is known and adjudged a performer par excellence. A fantastic presidential material, he is the kind of man Nigeria needs at this trying and critical moment of its existence.

A world class accountant cum financial expert, Dankwambo is a purposeful, focused, detribalised, young, and someone Nigerians can entrust with governance and be rest assured of a quick turn around in the nation’s fortunes.

He demonstrated unusual competence while at Central Bank of Nigeria and was noticed by the then Gombe State government which appointed him its Accountant General and upon sighting his feats in Gombe State he was immediately snatched by the then led Federal Government of Obasanjo who made him Accountant General of the Federal, while in 2011 he heeded the call and invitation of his people to lead them as Executive Governor and was so elected.

His experience and level of education, with a Ph.D in Financial Accounting, Ph.D in Financial Management, one time Accountant General of the state, one time Accountant General of the Federation and one time Accountant General of Africa, have given him opportunity and the people of Gombe are tapping from it.

Gombe’s allocation is about the least in the federation account but that doesn’t stop Dakwambo from embarking on huge projects. The governor has constructed more than 500 kilometers of roads across the state capital alone while connecting many areas and states like Adamawa, Bauchi and Borno. He has embarked on an agricultural revolution in Gombe by supplying agricultural implements, farm inputs, training of farmers and assisting the farmers with loans. So many things have been achieved so far.

There is no gainsaying the obvious that Dankwambo is simply the perfect man for the job at hand of Mr. President 2019 due to his vast experience as an administrator, a technocrat and a world class financial manager. He has transformed Gombe into a mega city to the envy of other states in Nigeria with the meager resources at his disposal.

Dankwambo (Talban Gombe), born on the 4th of April, 1962 in Gombe, holds a B.Sc in Accounting, M.Sc economics; PhD ; Post Graduate Diploma in Computer science. FCA( Fellow Chartered Institute of Accountant); FCIB( Fellow Chartered Institute of Bankers); FCTI( Fellow Chartered Institute of Taxation); FNIM(Fellow Chartered institute of Management); FNIM(Fellow Chartered institute of Marketing); FES( Fellow Nigerian Economic Society).

His genres of training include Harvard University, Cambridge, Boston Massachusetts, USA on Global Financial System, Crises, Prospects and Solutions; DUKE University, DCID, Durham, NC 27708,USA on Budgeting and Financial Management in the Public Sector; Stanford University, Stanford Business School, 518, Memorial Way, USA, CA, USA-Financial Management Programme.

He worked with the Central Bank of Nigeria (1988-1999). He was Accountant General of Gombe State 1999-2005; Accountant General of the Federation 2005-2011. As the AGF, he chaired and served in very numerous committees and Board member of some Government parastatals at various times. He was the President/Chairman of the Forum of Accountants-General and Auditors – General in West Africa (FAAGWA), and had earlier, served as the Protem Secretary of the same organisation.

Dakwambo has been practicalizing all that he has studied while he has also taken advantage of his educational qualifications to distinguish himself in the various positions of leadership. The Nigeria of our dreams is possible with Dankwambo. Let us come together, join our hands in support of his presidential aspiration for a better Nigeria we all crave for.

Is he fulani??

Finally revealed his paymasters all this Fulani this Fulani that talk was just another slimy unintelligent political strategy to boost his paymasters

if Dankwambo should run I will vote for him.

Dankwobe more preferable than fulanis.

He is detribalised and also a performer...
He's got all it take to change the course of this nation.

So Fulani has a well educated man and present Buhari as president? I'm not a fan of Hausa/Fulani supremacy over other tribes in Nigeria but this dude looks qualify and his previous posts he held told stories of trusted and tested achiever and not Buhari who is associated with failures and nepotism.

Hmmmmmmm

Another day, another pretender being flaunted before us even when such newbie is trembling to the name, Mohammadu Buhari privately

The more options we have in 2019, the better for us.

What is Dankwabo's tribe? Is he fulani?

As a Nigerian I will never never and never condemn the candidacy of an individual like this...I doubt if the south can even present a candidate with this kind of qualification and maybe quality...most of our politicians are semi educated touts, our quality detest politics...it will be damning for any Atiku or Bubu supporter to attack his candidature, infact any of their supporters should pay obeisance...Any idiot that think only uneducated Buhari and semi illiterate Atiku are the ones qualify to run for presidency should bury their head in shame

Just passing by...
#PVC loaded...

I only came to check name

Out of 190million Nigerians...we can't even get a good candidate. SMH

I'm a south western Christian, but I'll gladly cast my vote for Dakwambo in 2019. Though a Northerner, he is detribalised and not a religious bigot like the current fossil in Aso Rock.

I just hope that PDP will be able to check that big head 'agbero' called Wike so that he doesn't go against this popular candidate.

Guy why?

The pronunciation of his surname even disqualifies him.
We are tired of Northern presidents,
Tired of Fulanis..


Let's pitch tent with our own.
With a man who has a track record of great performance.
A man in a class of his own.
Good with the sax
Good with resources
An all-rounder and Nigeria's own Bill Clinton.

Donald Duke.

Gombe state has one of the best road network I've seen in my little travels, once u leave the territory and enter Adamawa State territory, make peace with your creator.
I digress, wonderful resume by the way, what he further needs is the mind to kill old and corrupt former leaders and cabal elements, if not he will be overwhelmed like the one that was crying for a chance as if by now we would have been as developed as China.

Now, this is a worthy presidential candidate, I know my vote for him will not be a waste, will have clear conscience and will be able to sleep deeply at night with that vote.

Don't care if he is Fulani, someone this educated can not obviously be a bigot.

I urge other Nigerians to join this train of progress by pledging your votes to him once he becomes a presidential candidate.

My 2 cents.

such a wonderful CV, couple with the age.
so how come we end up with someone like Bubu?
so ashamed right now

Ipob President!

Unfortunately, this may not fly for now. It's too early for another south south candidate. Besides, I don't see anything that Duke can offer that this guy can't, if not even better.

Let's be realistic with ourselves. Duke cannot even win against a northern candidate, even in the south. 2023 might be his year if our south east brothers will concede their chance again to the south south.

Apc thinking there is no substitute for buhari or play a politics of 2023 presidency to deceive both the yorubas and the Igbo, after all the tribe rulling us does not matter when we have less corrupt legislator to fight for our right and the proper use of the quota system.to me this man is a better substitute to buhari if he doesn't do well 2023 is around the corner but not just waiting four years of suffering believing I'm waiting for Igbo or Yoruba presidency that they will use divide and rule to take it back to the north.

Northerners must wait 8 years after Buhari before they get another Presidential slot.
