2027: ‘He’s formidable politician’ – Donald Duke points out Tinubu’s weakness

​The 2027 presidential candidate of the People’s Redemption Party, PRP, Donald Duke, has described President Bola Tinubu as a formidable politician.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, Duke said the only issue he has with Tinubu is governance.

According to the former Cross River State governor, President Tinubu is weak on governance.

DAILY POST reports that Duke and Tinubu were governors from 1999 to 2007.

Duke said, “Give it to President Bola Tinubu. He’s a formidable politician. My issue with him is governance, not politics.

“From what we have seen in the last three years, he’s very weak on governance. We’re in a disaster. It’s repairable, but not with the trajectory he’s going.

“If Tinubu comes back like a born-again and says he’s made a mistake, maybe we can consider it, but this trajectory, no.”

“He’s a stubborn politician too. Give it to him. He believes in what he’s doing. That’s his conviction.

“If we continue this way, where year after year poverty increases, I’m not sure it would be fine,” he added.
