He said: “Yes, it’s true, Mr. Donald Duke has defected to our party. This shows that our party is gaining momentum in the state. You know he is one of the best governors our state has produced and his decision to join our party speaks a lot about what we are doing,” he said.

Duke, a former two-term governor of Cross River State, reportedly decamped from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the ADC and formally registered in Ward 5 of Calabar Municipality as a member.
The former Cross River State governor has, however, not formally spoken of his defection to the ADC. He contested for the presidency in 2007 under the PDP and also in 2019 under the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
It is, however, unclear if he has an eye for the presidency come 2027
