The presidential candidate of the Young Progressive Party (YPP), Professor Kingsley Moghalu, has taken a swipe at Nigerian youths for the role they played during the recently held general elections.

“The biggest disappointment was with the youths. The youth vote was absent. They make a lot of noise, they rant and rail but you will not see them on the voting day. And when they vote, they don’t vote in line with their rhetoric,” he said.

When asked if the polls witnessed improvement when compared to 2015, Moghalu noted that chaos marred some polling centres coupled with an alleged organisational efficiency and effectiveness shortly before the commencement of voting.

“The organisational efficiency and effectiveness of the election was generally weak. We saw it. First, it was postponed at the last minute and in many parts of the country, there was chaos at the polling booths especially in rural areas.”

Reacting to President Muhammadu Buhari’s victory at the polls, he advised the current administration to justify the votes and work hard to restore Nigerians have reposed on the President.

In doing that, he wants the Federal Government to focus on three cores areas bordering on national unity, building a vibrant economy and the nation’s security.

He decried the poor funding of the police, calling on the government to properly equip its personnel with the modern tools to properly secure lives and properties.

Moghalu, who is also an economist and former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) however wants the complete removal of subsidy.

He also wants the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to be privatised because it “is not a very profitable corporation, it is not a transparent corporation.”

Asked if he would still throw in the hat for the 2023 presidential race, his response was “it’s too early to make that kind of decision.”

Ahead of the 2023 general elections, the YPP candidate wants the presidency to be zoned to the south-east.

I agree
..you see them here daily creating tribalistic threads and calling names.....most of them voted for either atiku or buhari(how can sensible youths vote for two old men)
.Nigerian youths deserve whatever they get!!

Look at this failed clown.. How do you expect I a Yoruba Muslim to vote for you over baba?? Werey man

Kingsley Moghalu must have thought himself a Macron in France who start his own party, speak a lot of grammar, make noise on social media and boom, win the presidency.

People you think are intelligent enough to understand the dynamics of the country's politics will just be falling hand and spilling gibberish.

Kingsley should have ran for Senate or governorship, show what he can do at local level, use it to introduce himself to the nation, and then make a case for the presidency.

This is not a rocket science bikonu.

moghalu you should have contested for senator or honourable member.we ship from china ro nigeria cheaper.

I sincerely agree. Just watch how they will show themselves here.

True

Of course yes...... when you have a hungry set of people pledging loyalty to Sai Baba...for 30k stipend.....I no blame them...30k na d biggest money wey them done touch for thier lifetime.... ...they are here...we all know them by thier names.....

Somewhere in Sudan and Algeria, youths are standing for thier rights and the future of thier country......in Nigeria the lazy youths are defending an 80 something year old life less (Ancestor).

Even the real Ancestors ( Father's of Nigeria) are weeping for these youths in thier grave.

Nigerian youths are lost generation. Expect anything meaningful from them at your own cost.

Nigerian youths can only rant, release venom and make noise online. They are simply empty chest beaters when they are expected show actions.

Continue with your senate or governorship rubbish when the youth of Algeria, Sudan are doing it, be waiting for a man that would run for governor even when you know you won't vote for hin

Awol1:

The so call political elites has misinformed the youth

Kingsley u were a great candidate u seem to have the right solutions from ur speeches bt u just don’t understand politics. Politics is beyond grammar, intelligence and just money. it’s hardwork, timing, strategy, structures and capacity.

If he studied political science or got advice from a formal/informal student of politics he wud understand better. The youths have no blame here. They only made the necessary call.

They blame the youths for everything!

You are the one talking gibberish. What is so dynamic about the politics of this shithole? The only mistake he made was believing the youths' online rants.

BOOOMNAIJA:
THIS MAN WAS SO CONFIDENT HE WOULD WIN THE ELECTION.....NOW HE'S BLAMING PEOPLE FOR HIS LOSS....I WONDER WHERE THAT LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE HE EXHIBITED BEFORE ELECTIONS CAME FROM THO!....

He was fooled by the online chest beating and noise making

As I type this I’m still thinking of the right word to describe your level of stupidity. This guy is a Ph. D, a former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank: But even without knowing you personally I’m sure you’re semi literate; With no meaningful achievement in life to justify the free air you breathe. You call yourself a Yoruba Muslim but I can tell you an average Hausa Muslim does not see you as a true Muslim; To them you’re a second-class Muslim or better still an infidel.

You are one of the problems he is talking about. Justifying mediocrity by tribal and religious sentiments.

Let me see you talk crap anyday about this country and I will borrow Ojulegba thunder for just a second.

Nigerian youths are being used by old fools politicians

Baba and atiku know politics, hv structure and strategy more than moghalu by far. Those 2 already have party structure leverage, money to Mobilize, they know how to politically engage their target base and people. My uncle studied political science and I had privilege of watching him do sm active politics and campaign strategy educational meetings back then for sm politicians and it was not beans. They are students of history and politics and know the terrains to follow.

You are funny. So, in your mind Buhari and Atiku are more qualified to lead Nigeria? You believe they are proven - tested and trusted; leaders who have the interests of their people at heart, non-tribalists and good policy makers?
Besides, who said you must climb the ladder? Who was Buhari before he became president in 2015? Governor? Wasn't he a dictator that overthrew a civilian government. Kingsley has worked with the United Nations, the CBN; he's not just some random Nigerian who believes he can do a "Macron."

He did not fail at the polls, he actually failed and lost because he didn't do thorough feasibility study before throwing his hat in the ring.

1. He didn't know Nigerians' psychology.
2. He didn't address the mentality of Nigerians.
3. He is too new to be trusted with the highest office in the land.
4. An average youth didn't see him as a part of us, but an opportunist.
5. No wonder Senator-elect Ubah had more votes than the presidential candidate. Hmm!

He and his folks like Fela, Sowore, Tope, Madam Oby are the greatest disappointment. Why not decide on one person. Nigerian youths saw them as mere opportunists.

when atiku said he want to sell NNPC people are shouting. during moghalu campaign he did not mention such because of the critics fear. we are now starting to know the people who truly love Nigeria .NOTE nnpc is a fraud to these country
