Presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ibrahim Dankwambo has lambasted the current All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government of mishandling the security situation in the country.
Dankwambo, who is the current Gombe State Governor, vowed to fix the problem if elected president in 2019.
The presidential aspirant made this known on Saturday while meeting Benue State delegates to the October 5 National Convention of the party.
He said, “We have never seen this kind of level of insecurity facing our people in the last few years.

“We have completely lost those values we cherished as a people because of bad leadership which my administration will change when elected President of the country.
“That is why I am in the race, because Nigerians have actually been asking questions as to whether anybody really cared about the situation we are in today.
“So at 56, I am in the race as the bridge between the young and old. I am not too young to run and not too old to retire. Over the years I have undergone leadership tutelage that has prepared me for the new assignment.
“With the support of the Benue delegates and the backing of God who alone gives power, I am confident that I will emerge the presidential candidate of the PDP but I am not desperate about my ambition.
“I must also added that if at the end of the day, God forbid, that I do not get the PDP ticket, I will be willing to work with anyone who emerges because my quest is about the good of our fellow country men and women and not a personal ambition.”
