Prof. Kingsley Moghalu, the former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, has said why he is interested in being Nigeria’s next President.
Nigeria is endowed with enormous resources, according to the presidential candidate, and he has plans to put these resources to good use for the country.
At a news conference in Abuja on Thursday, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate criticized the country’s issues, which included erratic power supply, high inflation, a terrible economic position, and weak governance.

He did add, though, that he believes there are practical answers to all of the difficulties, which is why he is putting himself up to Nigerians as their next leader to lead the country to greater heights.
Specifically, Moghalu pointed at ‘demons’ depriving Nigeria of electricity but added that they can be banished.
“With inflation at above 15 percent, most Nigerians see continuing decline in their standard of living. Even those more fortunate have been jolted back to reality with the acute increases in the prices of diesel, now selling above N700 per litre,” he said.
“However, I am convinced that we can overcome these challenges as a country and as a people. This is the reason I have offered myself for consideration to Nigerians as president.

“I did this in 2019. I have again offered myself for the office of president in 2023. We have our plans; we are not just talking, but it is up to the electorate at the end of the day. I am running because I have a vision for the country and capacity to govern and take the country to a greater height.
“As a presidential aspirant of the ADC, we are not here to say all hope is lost. What we are here to say is that there is hope of a turnaround in the situation of the country and in our realities as citizens.
“We have endured the night, not to remain in it, but because of the hope of a new dawn. Nigeria remains a blessed land of great potentials. Our lands remain fertile, and underneath them are some of the world’s prized minerals. We can turn our agriculture and solid minerals, not only to our engine of growth, but also massive job creation.
