The race for 2019 presidency may not be for the usual politicians as Professor Kingsley Moghalu, former deputy governor of CBN, has announced plans to run for the highest office in Nigeria.
Moghalu told political correspondents in Lagos that time had come for technocrats, intellectuals and experienced people to take power from Nigeria’s career politicians.
Moghalu told reporters on Monday, February 12, that he was consulting widely on the project.
He said he would not be deterred from contesting, in spite of speculations that 2023 was zoned for Igbo presidency, adding that zoning, which had been used in the past is no longer necessary.
He said that he would not be deterred from joining the race, in spite of speculations that 2023 was the year slated for the Igbo to have a shot at the presidency.
