The presidential candidate of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Donald Duke, has warned that Nigeria could slide into a deeper crisis within the next four years unless its current political and economic trajectory is urgently reversed.
Speaking during an exclusive interview with ARISE NEWS on Wednesday, the former Cross River State governor said the worsening state of the country compelled him to return to frontline politics, stressing that remaining a spectator was no longer an option.
“The direction the country is going requires very urgent intervention. In another four years, if we don’t change the trajectory, disaster — which is already looming — will deepen further,” Duke said.
The former governor explained that the country’s mounting economic hardship, insecurity and governance challenges informed his decision to seek the presidency under the PRP.
