Donald Duke, the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) presidential candidate and former governor of Cross River State, has warned that worsening poverty and insecurity have left Nigeria in dire need of competent leadership. He said the country can no longer afford to experiment with those seeking the presidency, and that aspirants must be subjected to rigorous scrutiny on their experience, capacity, track record, and plans. Duke, who governed Cross River State from 1999 to 2007, described Nigeria's situation as a disaster but said the country could still recover if there was a change in direction.
