A former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria {CBN}, Kingsley Moghalu has declared his intention to run in the 2023 presidential election after a failed attempt in the 2019 edition, when he was the candidate of the Young Progressives Party.
Mogbalu contested against the likes of President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress {APC} and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party {PDP} among others.
Moghalu made his intention to run again known in a statement, declaring that “2023: I will run because the people matter.
“There is no hope out of our troubles until Nigeria faces the leadership question and looks for capacity, competence, and a compassionate heart for the suffering poor.”
Moghalu, who reaffirmed his ambition to run for Presidency, declared that an inclusive national leadership and constitutional restructuring can curb the ongoing violence in the country.
He said: “What is the value of a Nigerian life?
“We live daily in the shadow of terrorists. The economy is collapsing. Many families cannot afford the price of food.
“Only the emergence of a visionary, competent, and inclusive national leadership on the one hand, and the fundamental constitutional restructuring of Nigeria on the other, can arrest Nigeria’s ongoing and violent disintegration into a completely failed state.
“For the sake of the youths of our country, I intend, with all humility, to present myself again to Nigerians as a candidate for the Office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the 2023 general elections.”
