This is the last of this series of "who will get your vote in 2019?"
The last 3 are part of the old cabal and we all see them as being one and the same individuals who will never stay in the shadows.
Kingsley Moghalu. This aspirant is a former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. A political economist, lawyer and former United Nations official, is a Professor of Practice in International Business and Public Policy at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. He is the Founder of Sogato Strategies LLC. H, like the others is seeking to bring their wealth of experience to the the number one position in the country.
Bukola Saraki. This aspirant is the son of Kwara's most influential political family. A Nigerian politician who has been President of the Nigeria's Senate since 2015 was previously Governor of Kwara State from 2003 to 2011. He was first elected to the Senate in April 2011, representing the Kwara Central senatorial district, and re-elected in 2015.
He is seeking to attain the highest political office in the land after having started from the Governorship to the Senate.
His tenure as been shrouded with various corruption allegations, but he still remains the senate president despite still having cases in court. Talk about the Nigerian system of governance.Donald Duke. This aspirant is the former Governor of Cross River State from 1999 to 2007. He is known for the great works he did while he was a governor. 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.
He is also credited for his fight for democracy.
These last 3 are all well made men and have so many accolades to show for their time in public office. In all, there are 12 of these men seeking to attain the number one office in the land and an incumbent struggling to retain his seat.
I believe that we will be seeing these aspirants coming up with various strategies to woo the people. Nothing is too much to give for the attainment of any political office in Nigeria and with this being the number 1 position, we will be intrigued.
2019 is fast approaching to many of us, but for these politicians, it is already here and they are putting no stops to make sure they get the number 1 position.
