In his acceptance message, Adewopo thanked Dankwambo for given him the opportunity to be in his Presidential campaign team that would work to ensure his victory at the primary and eventually as the President of Nigeria.
He described his principal, Dankwambo, as a young and silent achiever who represents the hope of the teeming young population in search of a new leader and a President who understands the dynamics of the economy, security and nation building.
According to Adewopo, Dankwambo is the face of the new Nigeria and the leader the founding fathers of our great nation dreamt about during the struggle for Nigeria’s independence.
He stated that Dankwambo’s track records speak of confidence, competence, excellence and genuine leadership which are the core qualities of the leader Nigeria needs at this time.
Adewopo further stated that it is a known fact that Dankwambo is a detribalized Nigerian who has sojourned in every part of Nigeria, from the far North, to the West, East and far South, and who has identified with every Nigerian of various ethnic and religious persuasion.
Dankwambo equally represents the new revelation that will easily birth a renewed, stronger and better Nigeria of our dreams. No wonder, he is rated the best governor in Northern Nigeria due to his excellent performance since May 29, 2011 up till date.
Adewopo, however, called for the cooperation of the media and promised to work with them with understanding, as he was ready to operate an open door policy to drive home the good programmes of Dankwambo for the entire people of Nigeria.
