Kingsley Moghalu, former Central Bank of Nigeria’s Deputy
Governor, has disclosed that he would be contesting 2023 presidential election
to succeed the President, Muhammadu Buhari, based on vision.
Moghalu, who was the 2019 presidential candidate of the
Young Progressives Party, stated this in a post on his Twitter page on Friday,
noting that he was capable like any other candidate.
He said contrary to the clamour in the country for the
presidential candidate to come from a particular region, he would be contesting
based on vision rather than “ethnic identity politics”.
He tweeted, “I’m running for President of Nigeria. I’m not
waiting for anyone to (fake) “call on me”, or until the presidency is zoned to
anywhere. I’m running on a vision, not on ethnic identity politics. I’m as good
as anyone in Nigeria, north or south, to be President.”
Moghalu had urged Nigerian
youths to join forces with younger politicians in order to dislodge ‘the old
brigade politicians’ from the scene in 2023.
He explained that to take the mantle of leadership, there
was a need for the youth to actively participate in politics beyond rhetorics
on social media by joining viable third force platforms excluding All
Progressives Congress and People Democratic Party.
The presidential hopeful noted that the only way to win
against old and money-bags politicians was to be united, adding that replacing
known politicians requires working together.
