A former governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke, announced on Tuesday that he will run for president in 2019 on the platform of the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
He made the announcement announced at the national secretariat of the SDP on Tuesday afternoon where he was received by the national secretary, Shehu Gabam, the publicity secretary, Alfa Mohammed, amongst others.
He said he left PDP because it had derailed and lost its values and was not the same party he joined back then.
Duke’s two terms of governor Cross River on the platform of PDP will be remembered for the Tinapa resort and the Obudu cattle ranch.
