A presidential aspirant under the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and current Governor of Gombe state, Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo has pledged that he would provide free education if elected president come 2019.
Dankwambo, a former Accountant General of the Federation also said that all the 14 PDP presidential aspirants are better than President Muhammadu Buhari.
Dankwambo made the statement at the Plateau state PDP Secretariat during a visit to Jos to lobby national delegates ahead of his party’s presidential primary.
He also urged other presidential aspirants to support whoever emerged as the PDP presidential candidate because he believed all the aspirants would perform far better than President Buhari.
He said, “We are about 13 or 14 aspirants jostling for PDP presidential ticket and everyone of us is better than Buhari because our great party, the PDP, has trained us so much so that we can rescue this country. We have good training from the party.
“I want to assure you that I will provide free education in Nigeria if elected. During our time, education was free. I benefitted from that policy because my father didn’t pay for my education. I have enjoyed that privilege and I want other Nigerians to also enjoy that,” he said.
He further vowed that being an economist and with professional experience in the financial sector, he would fix the Nigerian economy, saying the current administration has destroyed the nation’s economy.
“I worked in the financial sector before I became the governor of my state. I have many degrees from different fields. I worked in best places you can think of. So, I have the experience that I will fix the economy of the country,” he said.
