Donald Duke Critiques Tinubu's Governance Approach
Donald Duke, the former Governor of Cross River State and the 2027 presidential candidate for the Peoples Redemption Party, stated that President Bola Tinubu is a formidable politician but lacks effective governance. In an interview with BBC Pidgin, Duke explained that his assessment stems from perceived shortcomings in Tinubu's administration regarding the management of government institutions and the economy.
This criticism follows recent investigations by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) into alleged fictitious government offices, including the National Brands Development and Made-in-Nigeria Special Project Office. Duke questioned the existence of such entities without government knowledge, suggesting a broader issue with the effectiveness of Tinubu's administration.
He emphasized that political skill does not equate to good governance, reiterating that the government's primary objective should be to enhance citizens' productivity and welfare.
