Kingsley Moghalu, African Democratic Congress (ADC)
presidential aspirant, says the forthcoming general elections provide Nigerians
an opportunity to change their fortune and that of Nigeria.
He stated this at a banquet and national parley organised by
the leadership of ADC for its 11 presidential aspirants.
Mr Moghalu stressed the need to address poverty and
insecurity in the country to avert worse situations in the future.
The former Central Bank of Nigeria’s deputy governor said
his fear was based on the increasing rate of poverty and deprivation.
Mr Moghalu said Nigeria needed a visionary leader with the
capacity to enhance nation building, national security, economic and international
relations.
According to him, 2023 general elections will provide
Nigerians a historic choice to turn around their fortune for the better by
voting into power a purposeful and visionary leader.
“I am running for president because the poverty in this
country is simply too much to ignore anymore and if it continues, it will lead
to a social revolution, I have no doubt about it, it will happen but it’s just
a matter of when,” asserted Mr Moghalu. “I am running for president because of
all the young people of this country who have no job, meanwhile we are having
more and more children.”
Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari and the ruling APC
have repeatedly claimed making the country better than they met it by improving
the economy and security.
He further noted that “one day their energies will translate
into something very negative in this country.”
The ex-CBN deputy governor touted himself as being able to
take Nigerians out of the doldrums.
“So, I can say that I Moghalu is what Nigerians need to fix
this country. In the coming general elections, we are faced with a historic
choice to make. It is not just an election of politics as usual, we all have a
clear choice to make,” he explained. “Everything seems to be going down; 2023
is the time to make the choice for a purposeful future. Yes, leadership is the
problem. I am that leader Nigeria needs. ADC is the party that will deliver
that leadership.”
Mr Moghalu also mentioned that he would change the narrative
by ensuring improved well-being for Nigerians if he became the country’s next
president in 2023.
Chike Okogwu, also an ADC presidential aspirant, decried
elites’ apathy towards active participation in political activities.
Mr Okogwu stressed the need for the elites to actively
participate in politics and in the electioneering process, to reclaim their
rightful place in governance.
