Donald Duke: Poor Governance Fuelling Insecurity, Economic Stagnation

Sunday Ehigiator

Presidential candidate of the People’s Redemption Party (PRP) for the 2027 general election, Donald Duke, has blamed poor governance for the worsening insecurity and economic stagnation in Nigeria, warning that the country risks deeper social and economic crisis unless its current trajectory is urgently reversed.

Duke, a former governor of Cross River State, said Nigeria’s economy had failed to grow in line with its rapidly expanding population, arguing that insurgency, banditry, and kidnapping are symptoms of deeper economic dysfunction.

Speaking in a recent interview, Duke said his decision to return to frontline politics was driven by the urgency of the challenges confronting the country.
