2019: Donald Duke Declares Presidential Ambition,Says I Can Do Better Than Buhari


Former Governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke, has declared his intention to contest for the Office of President in the upcoming 2019 general election. He made the announcement during an interview with Deutsche Welle Africa on Friday.

Speaking on how he can do better than Buhari, Donald Duke said the current administration was totally out of tune with the current realities of the nation.

He said: “I see such obvious failings; I see a leadership that is steeped in the past and that’s really refused to evolve with a nation that’s predominantly a nation of young, aspiring people, and still doing the things the way they were done many many years ago and did not work.

“I think our leadership in the country today is totally out of tune with the current realities of our nation. There’s a disconnect somewhere. So, when you have a leadership that blames its young people, for instance, of not striving enough, or being lazy, it’s a disconnect because the tools to make them achieve their aspirations have not been provided.

“Look at the state of education. The state of education today is a far cry from what I received. So the elites amongst us try to send their children abroad; that’s a dream. They’re gonna breed a generation of children who are disconnected from home and from abroad.

“We had good schools here that could compete with schools anywhere in the world. We had some of the best medical facilities in the 60s and early 70s, all of that has gone to rot. The president himself receives medical treatment abroad. That is a sad state of affairs.”
