Much has not been heard of former Cross River State Governor Donald Duke, since his failed bid to be nominated by the People's Democratic Party to be their standard bearer in the 2007 presidential elections. Other than appearing in few government functions in Calabar, it seems he has retired quietly from politics. Or maybe he has lost his flair for politics. He certainly has not lost his passion for the saxophone.
The man Nigeria will fondly remember not just for being the most handsome politician to ever govern in the country, but also for his extensive campaign to market his state as one of Africa's frontline tourism destinations. Africa's biggest street party, the Calabar Carnival is a brainchild of his administration, as is Tinapa and the upgraded Obudu resort. Calabar has not been the same since he left, and that is unfortunate.
But is he now a full-time musician? That will be left for the Run-way Jazz concert, an event holding in Lagos as seen on the image attached.
