A former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank Nigeria (CBN), Prof. Kingsley Moghalu, has opened up on why he refused to join the All Progressives Congress, APC, and Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in 2019 despite being given the opportunity.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television Programme, The Chat which was monitored by Africa Daily News, New York, Moghalu explained that neither of the parties can help to actualise his vision for Nigeria.
He pointed out that he doesn’t believe that the Nigerian political leadership class is sincere or capable of changing this country for the better.
‘In 2019, I had the opportunity to join the PDP or the APC but I advised myself to introduce my vision to Nigerians and take a long-term approach to my political career
‘Because I did not feel satisfied just going in to become part of the system that feeds fat on the commonwealth of Nigerians.
‘If I join APC or PDP today, I have gone to take care of myself but the vision I have for the people, I do not think these parties are able to accommodate it, I don’t think they are able to execute it.
‘So we must build an alternative to them and educate the voters towards that alternative,’ he submitted.
The former CBN Deputy Governor lamented that the economic situation in the country is frustrating, noting that youths travelling abroad should not be blamed.
