Candidate of the Young Progressive Party (YPP) in the last presidential election, Kingsley Moghalu has announced his withdrawal from “partisan politics.”
IGBERE TV reports that the former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank, announced his decision in a chat with newsmen on Friday in Abuja.
Moghalu, who came 14th position with 21,886 total votes in the March 23 poll, said he was now going to dedicate his time to a citizens’ movement called Build A Nation (TBAN) “which seeks to help in the development of Nigeria’s electoral process.”
“I’ve decided to pretty much withdraw from partisan engagement at this time, the elections are over.
“We’re engaging on a non-partisan basis to a platform called To Build A Nation (TBAN), a citizens’ movement that will campaign for electoral reform and engage in voter education.
“Those are the two things this democracy needs if it is to survive,” Moghalu said.
Asked if he would accept a political appointment if such should come from Buhari-led administration, he simply said “If such an appointment is offered, then you reflect on it and make a decision.”
