With the massive poverty and hunger steering the common people in the faces daily couple with the unprogressive mindset of the present administration, citizens of Gombe State are now more determined to shock those who have been parasites to state resources, by voting Barde who is progressively-inclined enough to tap from his experience as a man who went through the rough roads to record monumental success in the private sector and has exclusively achieved; Gombe cannot afford to miss the leadership resource of Barde for him to replicate the success made in the private sector to develop his native state of origin Gombe State.
Some critics have had course to say the minute defection of some PDP members will affect the chances of the party in 2023 polls but the truth is that all that Jibrin Danbarde needs to succeed are with him.
Those who are familiar with our mothers’ old ways of preparing rice, wheat or any cereal crops, know that anyone who cooks any of these cereal crops with its chaff would not have the desired taste and result, hence the need to blow out the chaff or allow the wind of change to do the needful; gladly so the wind of change has blown away the “political husk” from the PDP and today the PDP is stronger and better as only loyal party-men who are concerned about true leadership and service to the people that are now left, so the meal of the PDP is sweet and come 2023, the PDP will sweep polls and its victory will even be sweeter.
Barde has chosen to be on the side of the people to give them true freedom to exercise their rights as citizens as enshrined in the constitution and that is why he had partnered good men from the state to join forces with him to help citizens of the state breath hope and live again as of the time of Dr Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo when citizens enjoyed good governance and students enjoyed a vibrant scholarship system amongst other dividends of democracy.
The few decamping from the PDP has left only loyal party members in the state which is good for the PDP and its chances for victory unlike the APC where many of the chieftains of the APC are so disloyal and hypocritical as some of them are working against the party’s success from within while others “Nicodemusly” visit Barde to pledge their support to his bid to rescue the state from the claws of their party (APC) and its leadership.
Barde is a reservoir of initiatives and strategies and so far, the vibe is good and the pulse of the people is for MJB to become Governor come 2023 through their votes so that good governance can become a reality in Gombe again.
Malam Abubakar is Deputy Director General, Media, Atiku/Danbarde Campaign Management Council Gombe State.
