Former Cross River State Governor and presidential candidate of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Donald Duke, has described President Bola Tinubu as a formidable politician but criticised his administration’s performance in governance.
Duke spoke on Monday during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, where he assessed Tinubu’s political standing ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
The PRP candidate said he did not believe Tinubu was politically stronger than he was in 2023, arguing that the President had lost some of the public sympathy he enjoyed during the last election.
“I don’t think so, I think his governance has exposed the weakness of the contraption called. I don’t think he has the sympathies he had in 2023,” Duke said.
He attributed the change in public sentiment to the economic difficulties confronting Nigerians, saying many citizens had become disillusioned with the administration.
