Kingsley Moghalu, a presidential aspirant under the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has disclosed that his party and other opposition parties are in talks on a merger over the formation of a third force to battle the dominant parties — the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), IgbereTV reports.
Moghalu made this disclosure on Monday during an interview with AriseTV monitored by IgbereTV reports.
The former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria further revealed the reason for his defection from the Young Progressives Party (YPP) saying the party’s mandate does not align with his values.
“I left YPP because I can’t compromise my values; I also left because the real problem is with the electoral system which means we need comprehensive electoral reform. The small parties need transparency.
“This is why I joined ADC because they aligned with my values. ADC is planning to merge with other parties to form a mega party to battle with the APC and the PDP, early next year if talks are successful. The APC and the PDP, as they are constituted today, can’t provide the needed leadership to Nigerians,” he said
