A former Deputy Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria and presidential aspirant of the African Democratic Congress, Prof. Kingsley Moghalu, has vowed to send the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar; and his All Progressives Congress counterpart, Bola Tinubu, on permanent retirement.
Moghalu stated this in Abeokuta, the Ogun State Capital, during the ADC’s presidential primary.
He said he would retire Atiku and Tinubu by defeating them in next year’s presidential election.
No fewer than 10 aspirants are jostling for 2,100 delegates in the ongoing ADC’s primary in Abeokuta to emerge the party’s candidate.
Moghalu and the founder of Roots Television Nigeria, Dumebi Kachikwu, are front runners in the race for the ADC’s ticket.
Other aspirants include Dr. Mani Ibrahim, Joyce Nsaka, Dr. Chike Okogwu, Dr Chukwuka Monye, Angela Johnson, Chichi Ojei, Dr. Muhammed Lamido, Bishop Ify-George Oforkansi, Dr. Favour Ayodele, Ebiti Jegede and others.
Moghalu said “I am here to offer myself to you not because I am better than anybody here but because I care about the future of our country. I offer myself because God has given me the main recognition to stand side-by-side with Atiku, Tinubu and to send them into retirement.”
