The former CBN chief had run alongside President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and others during the 2019 presidential election.
The statement was titled, 2023: I will run because the people matter.
He tweeted:
“There is no hope out of our troubles until Nigeria faces the leadership question and looks for capacity, competence, and a compassionate heart for the suffering poor.”
Nigeria's restructuring is not negotiable
Moghalu also stated that inclusive national leadership and constitutional restructuring can curb the ongoing violence in the country.
He added:
"What is the value of a Nigerian life? We live daily in the shadow of terrorists. The economy is collapsing. Many families cannot afford the price of food.
“Only the emergence of a visionary, competent, and inclusive national leadership on the one hand, and the fundamental constitutional restructuring of Nigeria on the other, can arrest Nigeria’s ongoing and violent disintegration into a completely failed state.
“For the sake of the youths of our country, I intend, with all humility, to present myself again to Nigerians as a candidate for the Office of the president of the federal republic of Nigeria in the 2023 general elections.”
