Kingsley Moghalu, a former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, has urged his fans to back a presidential candidate who shares his goals for the nation.
Recall that Dumebi Kachikwu, the creator of Roots Television, defeated Moghalu in the race for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential nomination.
After accusing the party of tampering with the presidential primary process, the former deputy CBN governor later resigned from the ADC.
In a statement made public on Monday, Moghalu said he will continue to participate in the nation’s government, but by making donations to aid in nation-building.
“Notwithstanding, I have opted not to be a candidate in this electoral cycle,” he said.
“At this time, I have no plans to become a member of any other political party for the purpose of the 2023 general election.
“For those supporters and the general public who have intended to vote for me as a presidential candidate in the general elections had I emerged as one, I ask you to cast your support and ballot in the 2023 election to the candidate that comes closest to our shared vision of a Nigeria that is secured, united, and prosperous.
“However, I intend to remain keenly engaged in our country’s immediate future, including the elections, with contributions that are appropriate and can be helpful to nation-building.
“To those who held tickets but resigned from the party in solidarity with me, and who still wish to contest elections, there are alternative avenues that can be explored.
“The best chance to achieve this vision is under transformative leadership that represents a break from the old political order.
“Our children must experience a tomorrow that is much better than our today.”
