“We are about 13 aspirants jostling for PDP presidential ticket and every one of us is better than Buhari because our great party PDP has trained us so much so that we can rescue this country. We have good training from the party,” he said.

Free education

Speaking on his agenda for the country, Dankwambo said he would ensure free education and the security of lives and property of all Nigerians.

“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.

“I worked in the financial sector before I became governor of my state. I have many degrees from different fields. I worked in the best places you can think of. So, I have the experience that I will (use to) fix the economy of the country,” he said.

Meanwhile, former President Goodluck Jonathan has thrown his weight behind Senator David Mark for the PDP party presidential ticket.
