Donald Duke Blames Quacks For Nigeria’s Falling Political Standards

Donald Duke, former governor of Cross River State, has criticized the influx of inexperienced individuals in Nigerian politics, attributing the country’s struggles to the poor quality of its politicians.

Duke emphasized the urgent need for political leaders to work towards restoring hope and pride among the youth. He noted that many young Nigerians are looking abroad for better prospects, indicating a loss of faith in local opportunities.

He highlighted the problem of “quacks” in politics, who view it as a means to personal gain rather than as a service to the nation. According to Duke, the presence of these individuals has diminished the political landscape’s quality.

“Hope is an essential force that inspires the younger generation to believe in a better future,” Duke said. “Politics, when done right, has the potential to uplift all sectors of society. However, with many quacks involved, it has been reduced to its lowest level.”

Duke argued that effective politics can enhance various fields, including medicine and general welfare, but the current political environment, marred by incompetence, hampers progress. He called for a transformation in the political class to improve the country’s overall condition.

Additionally, Duke addressed the high inflation rate, attributing it to energy costs and urged politicians to tackle the energy crisis by converting gas flaring into an economic asset.
