Former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and presidential candidate Kingsley Moghalu has announced his desire to run for president in 2023.

According to reports, Moghalu, who ran for president of the Young Progressive Party in 2019, announced the news on his Twitter profile @MoghaluKingsley on Tuesday, June 1.

 • Nigeria's restructuring is not negotiable

Moghalu also stated that inclusive national leadership and constitutional restructuring can curb the ongoing violence in the country.

He added: "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.”

There may be a mega political movement ahead of 2023 Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that some prominent leaders of thoughts under the aegis of the National Consultative Front (NCF) said they are set to launch a mega political movement aimed at rescuing the country.

It was reported that they said their first mission would be to mobilise towards having a new constitution that works for all which would serve as a basis for sponsoring credible candidates in the next election.

The leader maintained that they have set up special committees to coordinate activities relating to the attainment of their objectives.

In 2023 we will have a clear choice between the future and the disappointing past, between real progress and the corrupt status quo, between good governance and politics as “business” that profits only career politicians while the people starve. Get ready to make your choice.
