Former CBN deputy governor, Kingsley Moghalu who made headlines few days ago after pulling out of a pact that saw Fela Durotoye become a consensus presidential candidate, has gone ahead to emerge the presidential candidate of the Young Progressive Party.

The former UN officer who scored 243 votes out of 253 accredited delegates, after his only opponent, Mr Donald Igwegbu, stepped down for him, emerged YPP presidential candidate through delegates election at the party’s first National Convention and Presidential Primaries on Saturday in Abuja.

NAN reported that in his acceptance speech, Kingsley Moghalu who had expressed worry about non-signing of the Amended Electoral Act Bill by President Muhammadu Buhari, said Nigeria needed a leader of international repute, not politicians that had failed the country.

“More than ever before, Nigeria needs to be driven by a vision, informed by a worldview that determines everything else.

“Up till about 40 years ago, China was viewed as a basket case; overpopulated, unproductive and ruined economically by policies of the decades prior to that.

“Today, they snap their fingers and nearly every single African Head of state shows up in China with their hands out, eager for Chinese largesse. That’s what a country driven by a worldview can achieve.

“In accepting the presidential ticket of this great party, I stand here before you to say that Nigeria is fully capable of achieving greatness at home and abroad in our lifetimes.

“But this cannot happen with the normal way of doing things, the so-called Nigerian way.”

Moghalu said that he joined the YPP because he believed the party would live up to its name of being progressive, as well as be an agent of raising standards across the board for politics and policy.

He said that it was time for the country to close the era of waste, corruption, and incompetence that held Nigeria back from achieving its potential.

“It is a choice between remaining a mere fractious assortment of ethnicities and religious on one hand and building a real nation on the other.

“It is a choice between freedom and slavery under our recycled and corrupt politicians; between poverty and prosperity for our masses of the poor, and the unemployed, and between stability and continuing instability of the Nigeria state.”

you have my vote come 2019

He will not win a ward
same as sowore

we need someone like trump as a president

As I would have preferred this man, but his time is till not yet ripe.
Let him wait till 2023.
2019 is solely for SaiBaba

He lost my respect when he denigrated the PACT process which he actively took part in...I would have still loved him to contest despite the 'loss', but he displayed a lack of INTEGRITY, TACT and COURTESY in his handling of the events that followed...he lost me...Good luck to him.

My President...

YPP?

Nice one, but candidly only Sowore has the ability and attitude to wrestle this powerful godfathers and cabal!

On Sowore I Stand

Good one, I must vote for him. He's a man with vision.

Good! Anything but the old crooks posing as saints meanwhile they are evil with venom flowing in their veins

These people know they cannot win even their streets. Bt them go run with mushroom parties hoping apc or pdp later call them. Democracy is alien to nigeria it can never work. Sai baba go still win. More doom

almajiris and hausa youths no understand all this him big economy grammar, he should to kano first

Good and credible candidates always end up in the wrong party.. Moughalu.. Sowore.. ...

PDP +APC are the only active party for presidential seat.. Other parties just wan create awareness

DON'T DESPISE D DAYS OF LITTLE BEGINNINGS.....

Scandal loading...


That MUx2 that usually shares my political views on NL.... You have my attention... You can gladly add this one to your library ehn...

One vote party

It would be a remarkable experience if the Nigerian electorates boycott our old politicians and vote for some fresh blood. Well, this is a dream but if it could happen, the political scape of Nigeria would be forever changed. I hope religion and ethnicity go let us break free from our oppressors.

only in Nigeria is a 55yr old man young!

Gowon was head of state at 32
Murtala was head of state at 37
OBJ was head of state at 38
Buhari was head of state at 42
IBB was head of state at 44


Tafa balewa became prime minister at 48, had finished dying at 54 and this one is a youth at 55?

Nigeria is too BIG for you
...till 2055

Hope he gets what he wants. However, I’m still not happy with the manner at which they all conducted themselves during the consensus candidate program. It shows how selfish our politicians are !!

[quote author=12345baba post=71028262]almajiris and hausa youths no understand all this him big economy grammar, he should to kano first[/quoted]Is Kano the only state in Nigeria.?

Homeboiy:
He will not win a ward

same as sowore

Because our ancestors want tovcontinue in power both PDP and APC. Bubu is even the worst of all aspirants. Ancestor like Abba Kari works with him too. OBJ instead getting us a youth to convince us of his determination for a new Nigeria has no youth at heart.

excomarow:
Nigeria is too BIG for you
...till 2055

Till when he is 99yrs of age right

12345baba:

Huh Is Kano the is only state in Nigeria?

Note this man is working for the emergence of Buhari and a place in Buharis cabinet but he will fail
