A presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Donald Duke, has said he has no backing of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Duke, a former governor of Cross River, had during the week, declared his intention to run in the 2019 presidential election.

He spoke with newsmen in Lagos on Tuesday, saying that though he remained close to Obasanjo, his decision to run was personal.

He said, “I am not hypocritical. I am close the former president but he is neither my sponsor nor backup. However, those who come up with this propaganda also go to get the ex-president’s endorsement.

“I will not keep people aside because of what others think. I need everybody’s support but I am running as Duke and nobody’s stogie.

“I will be putting myself up to run. How it pans out is not what I can say,’’ he said.

On the zoning system operated by the PDP, the former governor said that it would not deter him from running as it remained his constitutional rights.

“Let the people decide. Zoning is undemocratic. I am running as a Nigerian. Zoning has never brought out the best in us. It brings compromise,’’ he said.

Such myopic thinking

This table you want to shake will end up consuming you.

Nigeria is not yet ripe for the kind of political battle you want to fight ..

The north by statistics still dominate the political landscape and still call the shots on who becomes the president, reason why a lot of political party have quickly align it's slots to the zoning formulae not, though zoning has never really helped the country but at half bread is better than chinchin..

If you wish to fight that status squo, I wish you the best !

Perhaps you will become the MKO of tut south south..







Check my signature and let's do gardening business...

keep quite Mr. duke. .zoning is what has kept this country andnits democracy going or do you think the south would have rule if the north have not agree to zoning? please dont was your time. .the north will and must complete its 8 year term and by 2023 it will roll down to the south. . .

Wisdom is profitable, how can don duke undermind zoning?
