The former Governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke, has declared his interest to contest for the Office of President of Nigeria, 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.
While speaking on the topic:
‘Nigeria In Clear and Present Danger’, he explained that although he was not yet sure of the platform with which he will be contesting, he was convinced that it was time to make a move towards addressing Nigeria’s problem.
He also stated that will and strategy are major components needed to ensure all-around 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, CNM, by former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, in February.
He was also one of those who witnessed the formal registration of the former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, as a member of the group, which he had called for to save Nigeria from the myriad of challenges it is currently facing.
Duke is a close Associate to Obasanjo.
