Kingsley Moghalu, a presidential
aspirant of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), says what Nigerians need is a
generational shift in governance and not allegiance to “same old career
politicians”.
Moghalu said this while reacting
to the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed by the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) and 37 political parties.
The Reformed All Progressives
Congress (R-APC), a breakaway faction of the ruling party, also signed the MoU
which they said is meant to unseat President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.
In a statement on Tuesday,
Moghalu said though the development is a legitimate move in a democracy, the
real question remains: “What does our country need now?”
He said Nigeria needs a paradigm
shift in governance and “a regrouping of the booted out PDP and members of the
failed APC will not achieve that.”
Moghalu said going by the current
state of the country, “things are falling apart and the centre cannot hold.”
“The shifting allegiances of the
same old faces and the same old career politicians will mean the same old
problems for Nigeria,” he said.
“Our long-suffering masses now
need something new, something different, and something bold if we have truly
learnt the lessons of 2015.
“Remember: another coalition
brought the APC into the presidency.”
Moghalu said with the PDP-led MoU
and the “disastrous” performance of the APC, the path is now open for a “real
transformative third force and generational shift which a Kingsley Moghalu
presidency would represent for Nigeria.”
According to him, “I seek to heal
our country and build a nation, to move our masses from poverty and
unemployment to jobs and prosperity, and restore our standing in the world with
a plan set out in my new book: Build, Innovate and Grow (BIG).
“The politicians have always won.
It is time for the people to win in 2019!”
