Former presidential candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), Kingsley Moghalu, yesterday said he had joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC), a platform on which he intends to relaunch his presidential ambition.

Moghalu told journalists that he resolved to associate with ADC because he feels ideologically aligned and restated that he would make himself available to contest the presidency and to emerge as a competent 21st Century president.

The former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria said,

I am pleased to announce to you today (yesterday) that I have joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC), which I feel ideologically aligned with. I am honoured to become a card-carrying member of the party.

In doing so, I restate my public announcement on June 1, 2021, making myself available to lead our country as a competent 21st century president, and my intention to contest in the 2023 presidential election.

The party has shunned ‘food-is-ready’ and divisive ethno-centric politics. For the party’s growth and expansion in the months ahead, I ask all my political supporters, including those aspiring to be elected to gubernatorial positions and the national and state legislatures, to join the ADC.

I look forward to close collaboration with the party’s chairman, Chief Ralph Okey Nwosu; Alhaji Said Abdullahi, the ADC national secretary, the national executive committee
