A former presidential candidate, Professor Kingsley Moghalu, has thrown his hat in the ring to vie for the country’s highest seat in the forthcoming general elections.

Moghalu declared his interest to join the 2023 presidential race in a statement on Tuesday about twenty-one months to the scheduled date of the poll.

He contested the 2019 presidential election on the platform of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), but said he would announce the political party he would join ahead of the 2023 poll within the next few months.

“For the sake of the youth of our country — including my four children — whose future is being drowned in reckless foreign borrowing, and for the sake of all Nigerians suffering and seeking a clear alternative to the status quo, I intend — with all humility — to present myself — again — as a candidate for the Office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the 2023 general elections.

“If elected, I will run a government with a dream team of highly competent Nigerians from all parts of our country. Along with strengthened, independent institutions, we will deliver results on a four-point agenda in four years (4 by 4):

— Security for all Nigerians and Nigeria’s territory;

— War against poverty: skills, jobs for our youth, and an innovation economy;

— Accelerated education and healthcare reform;

— Good governance: inclusive, transparent, effective, and accountable.

“This is my SWAG Agenda for a 21st century Nigeria. I seek the support of all compatriots — of everyone who is tired of our present national situation. We also need the energy and support of our youth, the middle class, entrepreneurs, and our compatriots in the Diaspora,” his statement reads in part.
