Former Governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke has declared his
interest to contest for the Office of President in the upcoming 2019
general elections.
He made his intentions known while speaking at the annual Law dinner
of the University of Nigeria, Anambra State on Friday, June 8 while
speaking on the topic ‘Nigeria In Clear and Present Danger’.
He explained that although he wasn’t yet sure of the platform with
which he will be contesting, he was convinced that it was time to make a
move. He also stated that will and strategy are major components needed
to ensure all-round national development.
Duke who is currently a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
was one of those who welcomed the Coalition For Nigeria Movement by
former President Olusegun Obasanjo In February.
He was also one of those who witnessed the formal registration of the
former president (Obasanjo) as a member of the group, which he had
called for to save Nigeria from the myriad of challenges it is facing.
