Donald Duke who was the Governor of Cross River State, Nigeria from 29 May 1999 to 29 May 2007. Has been praised for his contributions to the fields of agriculture, urban development, government, environment, information and communication, investment drive, and tourism. Through his work Calabar is seen as the "cleanest city in Nigeria."
Spearheading the incumbent debt of Nigeria, Duke pushed for democracy and against military control. He stated; "What got the military out of power was not democracy but the dreadful state of the economy. If we, the democratic government, cannot deliver food for the mass of people we can forget about democracy."
This is on a visit to Lagos for a talk show '' Your View '' which includes Yeni Kuti and the producer of the show Lukeman Musa.
However Duke mentioned that, it will be good for us to be nice to every one, and that is why i am slow to anger. I would have died if i am temperamental. Be good is the watch word ''
He created the idea of the Obudu Ranch International Mountain Race and the race grew to become one of the most lucrative mountain running competitions in the world under his stewardship.
Be good is really the watch word.
