Dankwambo is a man known for excellence. A  presidential material, he is the kind  of man Nigeria needs at time of its existence.

He is a world class accountant and a good 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 displayed his level of  competence while at Central Bank of Nigeria and was applauded by the 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 answer the call and invitation of his people to lead them as Executive Governor and was elected.

He provides them agricultural produce 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.
