Former vice-presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Datti Baba-Ahmed, has stirred political discussions following a remark suggesting that former Cross River State Governor, Donald Duke, could defeat President Bola Tinubu and Labour Party’s Peter Obi in a free and fair election.
The statement, which has been widely circulated on social media, has generated mixed reactions among political commentators and supporters across different political divides.
While some users interpreted the comment as an expression of confidence in Donald Duke’s leadership credentials and past governance record, others questioned the context of the remark and whether it reflects a broader political endorsement or a comparative analysis of electoral dynamics.
Donald Duke, who served as Governor of Cross River State from 1999 to 2007, remains a notable figure in Nigeria’s political landscape, though he has largely remained inactive in recent electoral contests.
As of the time of filing this report, neither Datti Baba-Ahmed nor the individuals mentioned have issued further clarification regarding the statement.
Political analysts note that such remarks often generate attention due to the stature of the individuals involved, particularly in the context of Nigeria’s increasingly competitive and personality-driven political environment.
The comment continues to trend online, fueling discussions about leadership options, electoral viability, and the evolving dynamics ahead of future elections.
