A former Deputy Governor of the CBN, Prof. Kingsley Moghalu, on Tuesday, formally joined the 2023 presidential race after doling out the required N25m to obtain the presidential nomination and expression of interest forms of the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Moghalu told correspondents at the ADC national secretariat in Abuja that politics in Nigeria should be detribalised for the nation to grow and take its rightful place in the comity of nations.
Moghalu said his first step to providing security for the nation would be to reform the police and increase the number of its operatives by 300 percent.
“Speaking on the state of the economy, the former CBN chief said that he would strengthen the leadership of the apex bank to achieve true independence, necessary for tackling the country’s hyperinflation.
Moghalu also said he would ensure that at least 20 percent of the country’s annual budget would be spent on education in order to revamp the sector and permanently end the recurring ASUU strike debacle.
