Former governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke, has disclosed that he would run for the 2019 presidency under the platform of the Social Democratic Party, SDP. Donald Duke, a former member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, announced his decision at SDP’s national secretariat in Abuja, where he was received by the party’s National Secretary, Shehu Gabam, and Publicity Secretary, Alfa Mohammed. The former two-term governor of Cross River State on the platform of PDP, said he left his party of about 20 years because it had derailed and lost its values and was not the same party he joined back then. He had been expected to run on the party’s platform. Donald Duke’s tenure in Cross River is remembered by many Nigerians for massive projects like the Tinapa resort and the Obudu cattle ranch, both of which have been mired in controversy since his exit.
