The Presidential aspirant said he knows the workings of government hence he is capable of giving Nigerians what they want.
The Gombe state Governor said: “Nobody can do it alone, but when you understand the people you want to serve you are going to give them the best.
“I didn’t know there are potholes in Ogun state because there is no potholes Gombe state. But anyways, victory in 2019 is coming to our party PDP.
“We were all shouting we want change, but we didn’t ask how he wanted to change the whole thing from negative to positive. Is he even qualified to make the change” he said.
“I have been a governor for 7 years now and I am the only governor that came back the second time. We have provided leadership before and we are still going to do more of it.
“We have developed economic blueprint we will share it, we are still looking at the event. I will provide the leadership Nigerians want”.
Dankwambo who described the event as a ” family meeting” with the party stakeholders, said that Nobody can do it alone, saying “But, the ability to identify the people that can do the work is what we should look after”.
He further stressed that he has offered himself to the party, adding that the party has trained a lot of leaders.
The Presidential aspirant said he is ready to support any worthy aspirant, if the party found better candidate than him.
Earlier, he visited former President Olusegun Obasanjo at his presidential library in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital.

He disclosed that as a former Accountant-General of the federation under Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, he has father and son relationship with the former President.
The State Chairman, Sikirulai Ogundele said the party in the state through the efforts of a house of representatives member, Oladipupo Adebutu are united and strong. He assured Dankwambo that the party would support him in his ambition.
