Am in for this man

He should leave PDP or APC and form alliance with all the other parties. Secure the consent of SW and Middle belt. Pick a northerner as your running mate. But keep tribalism out of your heart. I believe 2019 election will be interesting. What Nigerians need is good leader and transparent policies. I know that Nigerians vote along religious and tribal lines but this one is different. This is the bes among all indicating to run for president of Nigeria. I think Nigerians will support you overwhelmingly if you show them you'll not tow the line of corruption but deliver service to them. Donald Duke, pls contest.

If Donald Duke runs I will vote for him. But he should forget completely about PDP. They will frustrate him and waste his time. He needs to run on another ticket.

If truely Mr. Duke want to run for presidency i will support him.

Kiakia:
Donald Duke Presidency will restore Nigeria to international acclaim, but will even be given the opportunity to contest? That's the problem unless independent candidacy is enshrined in the country's Constitution.

he was d candidate of my dreams in 2007, but obasanjo stepped in 4d that he wont b able to control donald duke,gave us yaradua

9jakohai:
He probably would have been President...IF he had taken Yaradua's offer to him of the Veep job back in 2007...but no.

2019 ...it's going to be difficult. The Nawth wants at least another 4 years, plus PDP has far too many interested people. Then APC has Bubu wanting term 2.

Obasanjo was against Donald Duke as VP back then.
He insisted on Jonathan cos he saw him as much easier to manipulate.

Wake up my friend... This is reality.... Tunde can not even secure 10% of the general vote of Nigerians. I have been a Journalist and also in PR all my life. ... I have conducted polls and sample opinions randomly, Tunde should not waste his time and money. He should remain a straight talker and a clergy.

Am not taking about His ability to win election, I mean he got the intellectual capacity & charisma to lead. Because he can't win an election does not mean he's a failure. and my opinion does not guarantee him automatic tickets. I thought you should deduced that as a Journalist.
So you should rather inform me of a better choice with Donald Duke.
Peace!

Donald Duke, the former governor of Cross River state says that he will contest for presidency in 2019
The former governor notes that he will start the process at the right time
- Duke attributes the failure of governance on the lack of consequences for erring leaders
Former Cross River state governor, Donald Duke, on Sunday night, January 14 in Abuja has said that he will contest to become Nigeria next president in the 2019 general elections, Vanguard reports.
African Entertainment gathered that Duke, who declared his interest at the 3rd Mike Omotosho Annual Lecture titled, “Mellinials as Protagonists in Nation Building,” promised to kick-start the process at the right circumstances.

He said: “I am entitled to run for the presidency of this country. I am entitled to it. Only on right circumstances I will aspire for it. I don’t shy away from responsibility, only the right circumstance, I will aspire for presidency of this country. I have what it takes to be president of this country."

However the former governor, challenged the youths to fully participate in the electoral process by getting their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) and sensitising others ahead of 2019 general election.
Duke said, “I hear young people say to me that why would there spend hours queuing and casting their votes when at the end their votes won’t count. And I tell that if their parents conceived them they never gave up on them considering the high mortality rate so why would there not take a chance in building this nation?
“We had young leadership at one stage or the other. Even in our first republic, besides the likes of Awolowo, Tafawa Balewa, M. T. Mbu was in his twenties when he became a minister.

“Gowon was 30 when he became the head of state. It comes back to the disaster therein because most of them didn’t have experience in governance, which led us into war. We need the combination of both.
“What I think we should be doing is to a government that is youth friendly to provide opportunities because we need to groom the next set of leadership.”
The former governor, while rating the activities of the present administration, said, there was disconnection between President Muhammadu Buhari and his cabinet members, adding that: “The challenge we have today is the disconnect. That is the challenge of the governance today. Because if you speak with the folks in government, and I am been candid here.
I think we should stop to deceive ourselves here and stop all these political correctness. There is disconnecting between the president and even the ministers.”

He attributed the failure of governance on the lack of consequences for erring leaders which has given room for incompetence.
African Entertainment previously reported that Former Cross River state governor, Donald Duke, on Thursday, November 2, 2017, criticised President Muhammadu Buhari-led government for rejoicing over Nigeria’s ‘exit’ from recession.

This Day reports that Duke, who said he was broke, also advised the administration to work harder, stating that the masses were yet to feel the development.
Duke sounded a bleak warning that all is not well in Nigeria, despite the September news that the country was out of recession.

He will have my vote but does he have the financial muscle for the Job? Are Nigerian willing to support and sponsor him and not end up making him a puppet in the long run?

[quote author=Hunry post=64245445]just don't use apc or pdp & you have my vote [/quot

He need to come out under a different platform. A different party that is not in anyway affiliated to APC and PDP.
He should ensure that most of the party members are young guys that are in tune with the modern system of leadership.

I hope he chooses a strong party platform APC or PDP we go support you.

ignis:
What are you insinuating? Please hit the nail on the head.

Oh, so you're calling me a carpenter. I'm on leave abeg.

Vote Donald Duke for president

It's so sad, if only baba had allowed him to run with yar'adua, Nigeria won't be the 'shithole' it is today.

sir have voted for you already.. welcome

Fawklicant:
This is the problem I have with people like you. Your post has all shades of tribalism on it. Why should he be vice to Bakare? What is Bakare's political pedigree? An accomplished ex governor who has been tested and trusted should be vice to Bakare and he is who again?
What exactly would Bakare do asides false prophesies? A man declares his intentions to run for office, you couldn't even suggest any Yoruba or Hausa or Igbo technocrat to be his vice instead you suggest he drops his aspiration for your tribesman to make him vice?

Go and reason your matter well.

This is what happen when you are too forward to draw a conclusion on a post without visible comprehension.
My first expression clearly State that He's a Choice Candidate. What does that Implies? it shows I'm in support of His presidential ambition as a man of intellectual with Charisma to lead. So you didn't read that..?
My Second expression is my Opinion and my Opinion shouldn't be your headache, so your conclusion is not based on Logical deductions.
Get your PVC ready, we are voting for the best candidate this time.
Peace#NewNigeria!

Please respect yourself and stay off these evil blood tasty folks. I believe you had a good intention when you govenored Cross Rivers. The system now is worst. Stay off and save your name,family and money.

you have my vote sir

All nairalanders who support him should join heads and convince other people to vote for him come 2019.. we should create a thread for his campaign and make him trend on twitter,facebook,nairaland e.t.c I convince so many people to vote( though I regret it) for buhari.. I will do that for Donald duke

Lucid1:
To what state?

...back to independence day or pre-independence?

I think Pre-Independence....

infact we should #BringBackTheWhites to keep governing us..

Though they were cheating us, but at least we also enjoyed some kind of continuous development (or at least I was told so)

I have a feeling this guy would be a dictator
Knowing fulling well if he wins they frustrate him like they did to gej...

Nevertheless he can only have my vote if is not apc or pdp we need fresh party that will bring competition into nigeria politics...

There should be a hash tag for this on twitter...
#Donald_Duke_4_President

That's a welcome development

Nice on . Lets go Duke.

I hope his business partner, Dangote will not ask him to dump the idea so that Pa Buhari who is a Fulani man like him can win. Donald Duke, the smooth/quiet operator. Waiting, but you all are same.

Very good idea, why don't you start by creating the thread?

will do that soon

I sincerely think that social media has made a huge impact on this generation. When Macron won the election with a newly formed party he sent a strong message.
This is Africa not just any Africa but Nigeria where we not only copy but advance. I won't be surprised if neither APC OR PDP PRODUCE A PRESIDENT
