African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential aspirant,
Kingsley Moghalu, on Wednesday tweeted about the 2023 presidential contest.
The former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Deputy Governor
said he forgot to inform President Muhammadu Buhari of his intention to run.
The post was ostensibly a reaction to State House visits by
All Progressives Congress (APC) leader, Bola Tinubu, and Ebonyi Governor, Dave
Umahi.
The duo, at separate meetings on Monday and Tuesday, told
Buhari that they would seek the party’s ticket.
“I forgot to inform President @Mbuhari that I am running for
President. But I informed Nigerians, of whom he is one, so no wahala!”, Moghalu
wrote.
The tweet didn’t sit well with some respondents who posted
photos of him sharing biscuits to kids, while others joked about it or gave him
advice.
Lolofirstclass: “Twitter doesn’t win elections. Many of them
will be online warriors that day. Send people to start spreading your word from
street to street, churches, higher institutions, markets and even viewing
centres.”
GenesisClothin2: “If you came out during the #Endsars
protest to stand with the youths, by now your campaign for done finish but all
of una hide una head now una need us.”
Desmond Stephen: “You will have to do more advocacy. Most people
outside Twitter don’t know you.”
Okunola Smart: “First go try and contest for the Federal Hon
position to test your popularity and acceptance by your people.”
Olatunde Olaleye: “Find your way to the villa with your face
mask. Then snap a few pictures with Buhari.”
Moghalu joined the ADC in October 2021. The National
Chairman, Ralph Nwosu said Nigeria needs “servants and dedicated leaders” like
him.
Moghalu, one of the Third Force leaders, is a lawyer and
political economist. He was the Young Progressives Party (YPP) presidential
candidate in 2019.
Moghalu served as Special Envoy of the United Nations on
Post-COVID Development Finance for Africa.
In June 2021, he was elected member of the Board of
Directors, Academic Council on the United Nations System (ACUNS).
