Presidential
candidate and former deputy governor of Central Bank of Nigeria has reiterated
the need for a paradigm shift in Nigerian politics, stating that based on an
objective assessment of President Muhammadu Buhari’s failed performance, he
does not deserve to be re-elected by Nigerians for a second term.
Nigeria
has the highest number of poor people in the world, with 15% inflation and 1%
GDP growth due to economic mismanagement. We deserve a very different kind of
effective and inclusive leadership that can unite the country and reverse the
poverty that has made our country the poverty capital of the world with the
highest numbers of absolutely poor people of any country,” said Professor
Moghalu. The candidate, who is currently in the United States for series of
townhall meetings with Nigerians in Diaspora, emphasised that the current
administration’s record was a dubious “achievement” on which to be seeking a
second term in office. “In contrast with that record of increasing poverty and
insecurity in our country, I offer my vision of something new, bold and
different.
I offer a new kind of competent,
inclusive and effective leadership that will truly usher Nigeria into the 21st
century and build a better future for our children and youth,” he said. The
former UN diplomat recently announced his intention to run for president at the
2019 elections, consistently stating that the choice facing Nigeria in the 2019
presidential election is one between progress and retrogression, scary poverty
and the prospect of prosperity for millions of citizens and not just the elite
few, between freedom and continuing false imprisonment by the political elite.
