Donald Duke Leaves PDP, Joins SDP To Actualise Presidential Ambition by jos945(op): 2:37pm On Sep 04, 2018
Donald Duke, a former governor of Cross River state, on Tuesday, September 4, said he had dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and had pitched tents with the Social Democratic Party (SDP) under which he hopes to actualise his presidential aspiration.

Premium Times reports that Duke, who governed Cross River for eight years, was expected to contest for presidency on the platform of the PDP.

The report said Duke announced his decision to quit the PDP at the national secretariat of the SDP in the afternoon of Tuesday, September 4.

He was received by the national secretary of the SDP, Shehu Gabam, the publicity secretary, Alfa Mohammed, and other top party members.

Duke reportedly said he dumped the PDP after about 20 years because it had derailed and lost its values.
He said the PDP was not the same party he joined back then.

Here we go.

The opposition keep splitting their own votes. Is this how to defeat an incumbent?
Re: Donald Duke Leaves PDP, Joins SDP To Actualise Presidential Ambition by Donald95(m): 2:44pm On Sep 04, 2018
No difference he ain't popular enough to be missed

He made a wise decision Because he can't even win primaries in PDP talkless of defeating Buhari.


PDP will quake when Elephants like Atiku or Kwankwaso or Saraki leaves not when ants leaves.

Hmmm...

Haphard:

I actually think its better, even if he doesn't win, he stands a better chance at being selected a presidential candidate.

Another thing is that some people who believe in him don't really want him in PDP.

The only issue is that he ought to have done this many months ago and continued with aggressive campaign.

It might just be too late! undecided undecided

Waste of time and money. How popular is SDP? Most Nigerians don't vote base on individual capability or previous performance, they vote base on party and individual popularity.
