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!
Weak rebuttal. I asked questions and you have not answered any of them. Please do and only then can I join issues further with you. Your present argument is running on fumes, let it gather steam first.

I see the whole south speaking with one voice this time,duke should attract youth,social media and select a viable northerner,We yoruba Can take d senate president position,eyin eyan mi abi keleni mo sohuh??

This is a man every normal human being with a functioning brain should vote for, but we know some people have been cursed to shout and chant sai baba even though they can barely feed. the south must come together for once and lets send buhari and his fellow herdsmen parking once and for all. We need an intelligent and well spoken person to be our president, not one slow, old man who cannot communicate in simple english language.

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 his a fool.
Nigerian politicians are all the same...

He shouldn’t have any issue in the SE/SS so to clear the entire south he needs SW on board and that’s where the youths come in. The SW elders are set in their ways so the youths have to make it happen & drag the women elders with them. However, for me, the most important battle ground is the middle-belt and we know that shouldn’t be a tall order with the herdsmen menace.
This is possible!!!
the north is feudal and conservative while the south is republican and progressive.
They believe in prosperity for only the elites
we believe that everybody can make it
how do you reconcile these huge differences?
Re: Donald Duke Indicates Interest To Run For President In 2019 by jefy(m): 6:44pm On Jan 16, 2018
I have long waited for this. If only our youths and sane Nigerians will give him the desired support. Are we not feed up with the old and feeble already? Aren't we angered by the rulership of the recycled? Gosh,we need a change outside the broom change. It is high time our people consider the future of this Nation rather than their gains and sharing of the National cake....Donald seems the solution to our numerious problems. Let's give him all the support for a better Nigeria..

...this is the crux of the issue...Buhari is applying the high handedness accustom by the northerners populace to the southerners and it can't work the southerners are progressive and will not tolerate impoverishment like the aljimiris

Nice idea. I know PDP and APC won't give him the chance. But can't another Party come out? I know Donald Duke will perform far better than Buhari and Jonathan. The problem with Nigeria is tribalism. We need to stop this tribal sentiment if we want this country to move forward.
APC and PDP are having big issues hence they disunited. Therefore, an alternative ambitious, articulate and intelligent man with a good Charisma can take the risk now and mobilise behind the scenes.
Most of the other parties were registered just to collect FG allocation to Pol. Parties, they're not really after any office.
A good organizer can select some of them that have some responsible leaders and sell the idea to them. Donald Duke has what it takes. He can get some credible detribilized Northerns, credible non-hating non biafra Igbo s, Lots of frustrated and idle Yorubas to move.
He only needs courage.

then tell me why disintegration is not the only solution?
During the first republic,the western region led the way while the eastern region followed while the north enjoyed their fool's paradise of caring only for the elites.
Now they are taking both the western and eastern regions backwards with them.

Donald Duke is not coming out under PDP so the non constitutional issue of zoning does not apply to him.

Re: Donald Duke Indicates Interest To Run For President In 2019 by prixm: 8:23pm On Jan 16, 2018
I pray one party will present this quality of candidate at the presidential election. Even if he is broke we will support him with everything possible; money and more importantly vigorous campaign. THIS NEWS HAS RAISED MY HOPE ALREADY. Maybe Nigeria can become a country we can be proud of and not a "shithole".
Re: Donald Duke Indicates Interest To Run For President In 2019 by realisticwise: 8:33pm On Jan 16, 2018
I will support you wholeheartedly. pls contest Donald Duke

I know for a fact that anyone outside PDP and APC risks the wrath of the two giants,....We do not have the system that can producentre a Donald Duke governor, our system favours mediocrity

Re: Donald Duke Indicates Interest To Run For President In 2019 by rainview(m): 10:05pm On Jan 16, 2018
Glad to see that Nigerians love Donald.

But APC & PDP have already zoned Presidential candidacy to the north.

Unless he (Duke) contests on another political platform or as Independent candidate if possible.

For me, Donald has the will,age,experience & sagacity to be lead us out of this current quagmire.
Re: Donald Duke Indicates Interest To Run For President In 2019 by delugajackson: 10:35pm On Jan 16, 2018
Ride on, Sir. You have my vote anytime, anyday! And by God's grace, you will lead this country to greatness. This I believe.
