Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo of Gombe State has congratulated Miracle Igbokwe for winning the 2018 edition of Big Brother Naija.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential hopeful jumped on the trending “Congratulations Miracle” keywords on Twitter on Sunday night to pass his message across.
“Congratulations Miracle.
“I just heard 30million people voted in Big Brother finals and about 170million voted in all. Interested in ideas of how we can get the youths interested in our electoral process just like they are interested in #BBNaija. Ideas please.
“Go get your PVC,” the man some are pushing forward to take over from President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019 tweeted.
Congratulations Miracle.

The 56-year-old had some weeks back prayed that the reality show should end so that Nigerian youths can focus on “rescuing the country”.
He said the programme was a distraction.
“Millions of our youth vote with their money in Big Brother Nigeria then invest so much passion but show no interest in the electoral process then turn around to complain that the country is not working. Like I always say, I have nothing against the show.
“I just want our youths to show same kind of passion they use for Big Brother to effect the needed change in our country. I want young people to run for office and also vote competent leaders. #NotTooYoungToRun.
“Big Brother Nigeria is not the future. Nigeria needs your help, save her from going down. Don’t give up. Stop saying votes don’t count. They do count. If they don’t count, why do bad politicians buy votes on Election Day?
“And even if you must show extreme passion in Big Brother Nigeria, please multi-task and also show same passion in rescuing Nigeria. Please don’t give up. Go and get your #PVC,” he said in a series of tweets.
