Former Cross River state governor, Donald Duke has confirmed his intention of running for the office of the president in the forthcoming 2019 general elections.
Speaking in an interview with AFP, Donald Duke said: “I’m running. I am sure many, many will join. It’s ridiculous to have a leadership with people of 75 or above in a country where the age average is 21 or 22 years old. They can’t be in touch with the people and their reality.”
The 56-year-old former governor becomes the youngest contest running for the office in the forthcoming elections. He is one year younger than the current Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose.
