Donald Duke's Running Mate In Presidential Race Quits

According to a The PUNCH report, a Second Republic lawmaker, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, has stepped down as the running mate of the presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party, Mr. Donald Duke.

 

Junaid, who is one of the fiercest critics of President Muhammadu Buhari, told The PUNCH during an interview that he decided to step down because of the “many hassles of the SDP.”

 

He said he also stepped down as the deputy national chairman of the SDP and had written letters to the chairman of the party, Chief Olu Falae; and Duke.

 

Junaid said, “It is true. I stepped down a while ago because of the many hassles.

 

When asked if he would be supporting President Muhammadu Buhari to ‘take Nigeria to the next level’, Junaid laughingly responded, “You know I will never do such.”
