Former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria Prof. Kingsley Moghalu on Monday announced that Senate minority leader Enyinnaya Abaribe has endorsed his 2023 presidential ambition.
Moghalu first contested for the presidency in 2019 on the platform of the Young Progressive Party (YPP), but lost.
The former CBN executive announced via a tweet that Abaribe endorsed his ambition at the inauguration of Igbonine socio-cultural organisation in Enugu.
“Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe has just announced his complete support and endorsement for me to become President of Nigeria in 2023, at the inauguration of Igbonine sociocultural organization happening live now in Enugu. Thank you, my Distinguished brother, Enyi!” Moghalu said.
He added, “I’m not waiting for Nigeria or its ‘system’ to become perfect before I offer myself for service as its President.
“That’s not leadership, it would be cowardice! Leaders MOVE and take on challenges! No restructuring yet? No problem. We will get it done where others did not.”
Moghalu was the keynote speaker at the event which had Abaribe as chairman. The former presidential candidate spoke on the topic “Igbonine (all Igbos) What Do We Want?”
Meanwhile, Moghalu is no longer a member of the YPP. He left the party shortly after the 2019 election. He is yet to join another political party.
