The return of democracy in Nigeria
in 1999 was greeted with mixed feelings of high expectations and uncertainty. However,
it is now 22 years and Nigerians have come to appreciate the fact that the one
and the ultimate component of a democratic system is that it gives the citizens
an ultimate opportunity to determine their affairs through electing credible
leaders into political offices. Amongst the array of credible people that are
seeking elective office as Governor of Plateau State is Professor Dakas C.J. Dakas,
PhD, SAN.
Professor Dakas C.J. Dakas is the
second legal practitioner from Plateau State conferred with the prestigious
rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN); the youngest academic to occupy a
Distinguished Professor of Law Chair in a Nigerian tertiary institution; One of
only four Nigerian professors of Law to hold the office of Attorney-General and
to be conferred with the prestigious rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria.
Having graduated with a First Class
honour in law, he was awarded the Best Student in the Law University of Jos,
the Gally Brown-Peterside Award for the Best Student in Law, the Gally
Brown-Peterside Award for the Best Student in Constitutional Law, the Prince
Bola Ajibola Award for the Best Student in Jurisprudence, the Chief R. A. O.
Akinjide Award for (being the first of) the Three Best Students in Law, and the
Plateau State Government Scholarship.
Dakas C.J. Dakas' array of
accomplishments in the academic, legal profession and politics as well
nationally and internationally have placed Plateau State and Nigeria on the
global scale of countries and states producing highly intellectual individuals.
His intimidating profiles and
legendary accomplishments are praiseworthy, above all his firmly immense
dispositions, unquestionable character and the uncommon passion for good
governance he unveiled in his researches, speeches he delivered as guest
speaker and other previous assignments have earned him the respect and
confidence of the people desiring good governance and boundless transformations.
His exceptional humility and
leadership qualities as well as exhibiting passionate patriotism in all the
assignments given to him are boundless and considering his track record in
providing excellence and model ideas on issues; Certainly his is a round peg in
a round hole in any political office.
As 2023 approaches it is the
patriotic duty of those desiring qualitative leadership to search for a
groundbreaker with proven track records of decorum, humanity, philanthropy, a
leader who is outstanding, selfless and detribalized in his daily endeavour.
Here is a man who has proven that he
will sacrifice all it takes to improve the lives of the people, a patriotic
citizen, a meticulous leader, and above all a team player, such a gentleman is
PROFESSOR DAKAS CLEMENT JAMES, PhD, SAN
100% of our support will surely be given to Prof Dakas cj
