The 2019 presidential candidate of the Young Progressive Party (YPP), Prof. Kingsley Moghalu, has declared his ambition to take a shot at Nigeria’s presidency again in 2023.
Africa Today News, New York reports that Moghalu, who earlier said he had resigned from the YPP and had also quit partisan politics, however, he has now stated that he has changed his mind.
According to him, his decision to re-contest is due to concern for the youth and to seek a clearer alternative to the status quo that would tackle challenges currently facing the nation.

Moghalu also promised to run a government with a team of highly competent Nigerians from all parts of the country if elected.
‘Along with strengthened, independent institutions, we will deliver results on a 4 point agenda in four years,’ he pledged.
