2027: If elected, Donald Duke may have no politicians in his cabinet

Donald Duke, the Peoples Redemption Party’s candidate for Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election and a former governor of Cross River State, says his cabinet could contain no politicians if that is what it takes to assemble the country’s best talent. He wants competence and delivery to take precedence over electoral calculations, political rewards and patronage. Drawing on his experience as governor from 1999 to 2007, Duke says a leader’s record should speak for itself and earn voters’ support.
