A former governor of Cross River state, Donald Duke, said on Tuesday that he has interest in becoming Nigeria’s president if the opportunity comes.
Duke said this at a programme in Lagos, “The Nigeria Symposium for Emerging Leaders.”
He added that it was because of his interest in the presidency that he decided not to contest for a legislative position.
“I do not have the flair for the legislature; standing up and sitting down at the chambers to raise a point. That was why I did not contest for the Senate but the presidency, after serving out my term as governor.
“I have contested the presidency before; I will still give it a shot when the opportunity presents itself. I believe I still have the energy in me,” he said.
He also urged young people to be more proactive in politics.
