Kingsley Moghalu, a presidential
aspirant, says President Muhammadu Buhari has a record of increasing poverty
and insecurity in Nigeria.
Moghalu said this in reaction to
Buhari’s announcement that he would seek a second term in office.
The president made his ambition
known at the national executive council meeting of the All Progressives
Congress (APC).
In a statement issued on Tuesday,
Moghalu said he is offering Nigerians a competent and effective leadership —
different from what Buhari has given Nigerians.
He said in contrast to Buhari’s
record, he has a vision of “something new, bold and different” for the country.
“President Muhammadu Buhari has
every right to seek a second term in office if his political party nominates
him. It will be up to Nigerians to judge his performance track record so far,”
he said.
“In contrast with that record of
increasing poverty and insecurity in our country I offer my vision of something
new, bold and different.
“I offer a new kind of competent,
inclusive and effective leadership that will truly usher Nigeria into the 21st
century and build a better future for our children and youth.”
He said if elected president of
Nigeria in 2019, he will lead a government that will unite Nigeria and build a
“stable and secure nation, reverse extreme poverty and high unemployment with
effective economic management, and restore Nigeria’s standing in the world.
“My government will establish a
productive innovation-led economy that reduces dependence on oil revenues,
establish a public-private venture capital fund with a minimum capital of N500
billion (with private sector co-investment to fund could attain a size of N1
trillion) to create jobs by investing in new businesses by unemployed youth,
reform the Nigerian police force by recruiting, training and equipping a
minimum of 1.5 million persons with improved remuneration to create safe and
secure communities.
“My government will empower women
with a 50:50 gender parity policy in political appointments, and initiate a
constitutional restructuring of Nigeria to restore true federalism for
stability and prosperity.”
