Professor Kingsley Moghalu, the former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria who contested for the office of president in the 2019 general election, has resigned his ambition to participate in active politics. As a guest on Arise TV, the lawyer and presidential candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) in the 2019 general election said that he had made up his mind to disassociate himself from active politics, insisting that that was what informed his decision to accept his new assignment where, in a non-partisan capacity, he can contribute actively and more elaborately to nation-building.
“Some people would be partisan, and I have chosen not to be, period,” Moghalu said. In the anchor’s quest to find out if Moghalu’s foray into the murky waters of Nigerian politics was worth the energy, stress, and perhaps life-threatening situation, he answered in the affirmative, stating that he learned a lot about Nigerian politics and that he believes that has shaped his intellectual knowledge base about the political, economic, and educational development of the country.
