Former presidential aspirant, Prof. Kingsley Moghalu, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to treat the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, the same way Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho were treated.

Anaedoonline.ng reports that Kyari was also indicted for receiving bribes from internet fraudster, Ramon Abbas, popularly known as Hushpuppi.

Hushpuppi was arrested in Dubai many months ago and had pleaded guilty to fraud in the U.S earlier this week.

Hushpuppi: People Waiting To See Me Arrested Will Wait Forever – Abba Kyari

However, the FBI has said Hushpuppi and Kyari have been friends and were both involved in a conspiracy to launder money. Otis Wright of the U.S District Court for the Central District of California had told the FBI to track down Kyari and produce him before the court over his alleged role in a multi-million dollar fraud perpetrated by Hushpuppi. Judge Wright’s permission for the FBI to arrest Mr Kyari and hold him in U.S custody was unsealed on July 26.

Reacting to the trending reports, Moghalu who contended the number one political position in the country under the umbrella of Young Progressive Party (YPP), believes that since the Federal Government has arrested the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and as well seeking to extradite the Yoruba Nation Agitator from the Benin Republic, the same process should be adopted for the deputy police commissioner.

Anaedoonline.ng understands that the former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank, CBN, noted this in a post on his verified Twitter handle on Friday.

EXPOSED: Conversation Between Hushpuppi And Kyari ‘Leaked’

He wrote, “President @MBuhari has frequently opted for subjective loyalties over real political will on national security and fighting corruption. The U.S. @FBI request for the extradition of the accused police chief, Abba Kyari in the Hushpuppi case will put him and Nigeria in the global spotlight.

“It’s one thing to go to great lengths in seeking to extradite Sunday Igboho from the Benin Republic and the apparent extraordinary rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from God-knows-where. It’s another to respect international law in black and white when it comes to certain Nigerians.

“Nigeria and the United States have an extradition treaty and it has been used in a number of cases. Is this a bone in the throat? What leadership calls for is obvious. President Buhari should respect laws and follow due process. We are watching.”

Hushpuppi: Abba Kyari Risks 20 Years Imprisonment Over Alleged Money Laundering

However, Kyari had in a statement released on Thursday faulted the allegations of conspiracy with Hushpuppi, saying he only met him two years ago and did not benefit financially from the fraudster.

written by AnaedoOnline 2 minutes read

Kingsley Moghalu, former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to address the issues that brought about agitations for Biafra and Oduduwa.

In a statement to newsmen, the Young Progressive Party (YPP) presidential aspirant condemned the rearrest of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), and invasion of the home of Sunday Igboho.

According to Moghalu: “The Government of President Muhammadu Buhari manifests in the evident double standards in the actions of that government in relation to national security and criminal justice.

“I call on the Nigerian government to understand the full sensitivity and long-term implications of his rearrest and impending trial and ensure that Kanu’s rights are fully respected in this process.

“I condemn the violent attack on Sunday Igboho’s residence by security (and possibly other) forces, the Government’s increasingly obvious tendency toward the totalitarian repression of dissenting voices in the Nigerian polity.

by Okechukwu
written by Okechukwu 5 minutes read

Considering the economic hardship and the insecurity Nigerians are enduring today, the 2023 Presidential Election is set to be the most consequential one since the return of civilian rule in 1999. Less than two years away, alliances are getting formed, reassessed, and reformed. Today, the Keke Napep/Okada Association Of Northern Nigeria (NACTMORA) has weighed in on the direction that Nigeria should take in 2023. The name is Professor Kingsley Moghalu.

In a statement made available to newsmen in their Abuja headquarters, this association declared Professor Moghalu, who used to be the deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and Special Envoy of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) on Post-Covid Development Finance for Africa as “the best potential candidate to be elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2023.”

In a pointedly short statement, the association with 10 million members chose the political economist he showed capacity through his track record of national service at the leadership level and showed his ability to work with people of different regions and faith with him.

Here is the report in full:

Kingsley Moghalu Should Run For President In 2023, Says Keke Napep/Okada Association Of Northern Nigeria Press Statement By The Chairman, Coalition Of 19 the Northern Nigeria States Of The National Commercial Tricycle And Motorcycle Owners And Riders Association (Nactmora)

We are the members of the 19 states of the coalition of northern Nigerian states members of the National Commercial Tricycle and Motorcycle Riders Association (NACTMORA), popularly known as “Keke Napep “and “Okada” riders.

We are represented at this press conference in Abuja today, May 7, 2021, by the Chairman of the coalition of 19 northern states chapters of the Association, Alhaji Nasiru Umar Ambursa, and 9 states chapter chairmen (3 state chairmen from each of the three geopolitical zones of North-Central, North-East, and North-West
Nigeria).

We are deeply concerned by the terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and also the poverty, unemployment, ethnic and religious problems in Nigeria that are getting worse since the 2019 general election. We are a grassroots trade association with over 10 million members in the 19 northern states. We are not a partisan political organization.
After we observed closely the 2019 elections, the trend of Nigerian politics and its major actors since then, we have concluded that:

1. That Nigeria today is facing a very serious crisis;

2. The cause of this crisis is incompetent leadership, bad governance, and corruption, and Nigerian politicians serve themselves and not the people;

3. The kind of politicians we have in our country today cannot national crisis, because they have played the bad politics of corruption, tribalism, and election rigging for a long time and do not know anything else; solve our

4. We, the members of the coalition of our Association in 19 northern states have decided to stand up, publicly in front of all Nigerians, to say our position on the kind of leadership Nigeria needs from 2023.

5. After carefully looking at the situation in our country today, the members of our Association in 19 northern states have unanimously decided that, of all the political leaders active in the country today, Professor Kingsley Chiedu Moghalu OON, political economist and lawyer, Special Envoy of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) on Post-Covid Development Finance for Africa, Deputy Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria from 2009-2014, former Professor at Tufts University, USA, a presidential candidate in 2019, and the Ifekaego Nnewi, is the best potential candidate to be elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2023;

Fintech can save Africa from post-covid pandemic recession

6. We are therefore unanimously calling on Prof. Moghalu to run for President in 2023, and we hereby pledge our support and endorsement for his candidacy. We are endorsing Prof. Moghalu because since he came into Nigerian politics in 2018, he has shown that he has a clear plan for Nigeria. He is passionate to lead
the transformation of Nigeria into a more united country with a better economy that can eradicate poverty.

Many people are still remembering his candidacy in 2019 and now wish Nigeria can have such a man as its leader. Before going into politics, he showed capacity through his track record of national service at leadership level in the CBN where he worked closely with HRH Muhammadu Sanusi II (formerly Sanusi Lamido Sanusi), Governor of the CBN from 2009-2014 and Emir of Kano from 2014-2020, as Governor Sanusi’s deputy.

The professor also established an excellent track record in international service at the United Nations for 17 years before he was invited back home to serve Nigeria at the CBN by Sanusi and appointed CBN Deputy Governor by late President Umaru ar’Adua.

Prof. Moghalu is not corrupt. He is not tribalistic. He is a man of truth and courage. He has a good heart for the common man. And he has the global pedigree needed for leadership in the 21st century. We strongly call on Prof. Moghalu to step forward to lead Nigeria. We plead with all Nigerians, for the sake of our children and our future, to support this patriotic Nigerian. He is the man we believe has the vision, capacity, and competence, to
lead Nigeria into a better future.

He promised to give the aspirant moral support and wise counsel to enable him to achieve his target.

Earlier in a remark, Mr. Moghalu commended Governor David Umahi for the massive transformation ongoing in Ebonyi State adding that the Governor signifies performance in all sense of good governance.

“I am very proud of Dave Umahi and what he has done for Ebonyi State, South East and the Nation, the only way for you to describe Umahi’s performance is for you to go and see and that is what leadership is all about, so am very proud of him, we are confident that the Anambra State people will trust the APC and allow us to serve. It is the people first, how to impact on the lives of people of Anambra and Igbo nation is my priority” he said.

The governorship aspirant, however, thanked Governor Umahi for the open endorsement of his candidature and expressed hope that the good works of the APC-led Government at the centre would give him and the party victory in the Gubernatorial election.

written by AnaedoOnline 1 minutes read

A former presidential candidate Kingsley Moghalu has questioned the operation of the military in Orlu, Imo State.

Soldiers invaded Orlu on Monday and engaged a group believed to be members of the Eastern Security Network of the Indigenous People of Biafra in a duel, sending residents scampering for safety.

The incident forced Governor Hope Uzodimma to impose a dusk-to-dawn curfew in 12 local government areas of Imo West Senatorial District.

Tweeting on Wednesday, Moghalu said the presence of the military in a police matter should be questioned.

Gov. Uzodinma Laments Over Killings In Orlu

He said: “I regret the deaths of Nigerians in Orlu reportedly resulting initially from clashes between Nigerian soldiers and civilians. @Govhopeuzodinma has imposed a curfew to restore order, but the situation raises important questions about military occupation

“Of civilian spaces in Nigeria. Why is the military involved in Orlu and not @PoliceNG?”

Four soldiers were reported killed in the incident. The number of casualties from the group remained disputed.

Moghalu: Nigeria Is Bankrupt Because…

by AnaedoOnline
written by AnaedoOnline 2 minutes read

Kingsley Moghalu, a former presidential candidate, says Nigeria is bankrupt because its leadership and politics are a “grand fraud”.

The former deputy governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) said Nigeria’s problem is not lack of brilliant minds, but a lack of strong and effective institutions.

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) recently said at least 82.9 million Nigerians are living in poverty, although earlier data from the World Poverty Clock puts the estimate at above 90 million.

Northern Elites Promoting Poverty, Says Moghalu

This means that about 40.1 percent of Nigeria’s population — excluding Borno state which has been ravaged by Boko Haram insurgents since over a decade — is surviving on less than a dollar daily.

Writing via his Twitter handle on Thursday, Moghalu said it is only strong economic institutions that can provide the needed opportunity for wealth creation in Nigeria.

He wrote: “90 million Nigerians live in extreme poverty and the country is essentially bankrupt not because we don’t have brilliant economists, but because our politics and leadership are a grand fraud. Prosperity requires nationhood, first, followed by strong, effective institutions.

I Am Not In APC Nor Given An Appointment, Prof Moghalu To Femi Falana

“Without strong political institutions, we can’t have strong economic institutions that can set up an equal opportunity for wealth creation. If we don’t restructure a big, diverse country constitutionally back to real federalism, Nigeria can neither be stable nor prosper.”

Moghalu said an interplay between political foundations, governance and institutions on the one hand and the marketplace on the other is the key to wealth creation in developing countries.

BUHARI EXPLAINS DISAPPOINTMENT IN MOGHALU

 

The presidential candidate of Sustainable National Party of Nigeria, SNPN, in the 2019 general elections, Ahmed Buhari, has revealed why he refused to collaborate with other political in the build-up to the polls.

Buhari had walked out of Presidential Aspirants Coming Together, PACT, a force meant to sack the two leading political parties in the country.

Buhari, who was quoted by Vanguard, added that he was disappointed when people like Kingsley Moghalu,”told me that he was clearly the best candidate and that we should all step down for him.”

He added, “My main reason for walking out of PACT was our denial on what the political realities are.

“Political realities are those clear indicators that determine the outcome of our politics.

“Again, I was disappointed when people like Kingsley Moghalu told me that he was clearly the best candidate and that we should all step down for him. Right there I knew we weren’t going anywhere.

“If we needed to make the required impact, we had to have been completely real with ourselves and understand that emotions and sentiments have no place in politics.

“If we cannot stretch our hands out in friendship with all people regardless of their ethnicity, faith, age bracket and political party affiliations then we aren’t prepared to unite and move Nigeria and Nigerians forward.”

MOGHALU: WE CANNOT FIX THE ECONOMY IF WE DON’T FIX OUR POLITICS

 

 Still on the presidential debate the presidential candidate of the Young Peoples Party (YPP), Professor Kingsley Moghalu, says the Nigeria’s political system must be fixed before its economy can experience any significant improvement.

He stated this at the NEDG/BON presidential debate currently holding at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja.

MOGHALU: WE CAN’T FIX ECONOMY IF WE DON’T FIX OUR POLITICS

“Let’s first understand that we cannot fix the economy if we don’t fix our politics,” Moghalu said.

“Our economy can never grow for as long as we are led by the incompetent, visionless, and recycled and arrogant old politicians that have run this country’s economy into the ground and are seeking another four years of poverty for us.”
