His yes is yes and his no is no.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce he accepted the outcome of the PDP presidential election and promised to support Atiku, so be it; he can never change gear.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is not a man with Janus face. He looks straight ahead once he has taken a course of action. If you must know, Dankwambo is highly principled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt least you could see this in the unprecedented crowd that was recorded when Atiku came to Gombe. We are not joking here. Dankwambo will not only deliver Gombe to Atiku and Usman Nafada who is contesting for governor, he will deliver the entire North-east of Gombe, Bauchi, Borno, Yobe, Adamawa and Taraba States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will beat the APC hands down in all the elections in the North-east and Dankwambo has set about this task, and will never join the band of anybody holding secret meetings with the opposition. Dankwambo, my boss, will never play Judas.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"2019 presidency: Gov.
