The former governor of Cross River, Donald Duke on Tuesday debunked widespread reports that he has backed down on his presidential ambition. Duke who spoke to NAN on Tuesday explained that he has not officially declared for the number one seat in the country for strategic reasons. According to him;
“Some time ago, I said I will run for the presidency of the country if the opportunity presented itself. Yes, my presidential ambition is still intact; I am only waiting for the opportunity to present itself to make the right move."
Speaking on what platform he would run, especially as he was a member of former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s inspired “Coalition for Nigeria Movement (CNM)’’, he said it was too early to decide. He also disclosed that he was still a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“I am still a member of the PDP, at the same time a member of the coalition which is not a political party. The coalition will definitely align with a political party to achieve its goals, otherwise it will make no sense. I can’t say yet the platform on which I will run if the opportunity presents itself. We are still watching and will take the right step at the right time,’’ he said.
