The Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi paid a courtesy call to the former CBN Deputy Governor and presidential candidate of Young Progressives Party in 2019 election, Prof Kingsley Moghalu in his Abuja residence.
Moghalu disclosed this via his Twitter handle.
He wrote:
“H.E. @PeterObi paid me a visit yesterday morning at my residence in Abuja. I was very glad to receive him. We discussed the state of the nation and his aspiration to lead our country from 2023. I have always enjoyed a warm fraternal relationship with โOkwuteโ. We collaborated closely when he was Governor of @AnambraStateGov and I, also an Anambra indigene, was Deputy Governor of @cenbank . I recall his keen interest in education and our close coordination when, as CBN DepGov, I influenced a corporate social responsibility investment of N1 billion by the Bank in building infrastructure for Anambra State University in Igbariam (Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University). I also recall H.E. POโs โs invitation to me to deliver the 6th Edition of the Anambra State Distinguished Public Service Lecture in 2011 on the subject of Nigeriaโs banking reforms , his conferment on me of the Anambra State Governmentโs Special Award for Excellence, and our collaboration as colleagues in Nigeriaโs Economic Management Team (EMT) under then President @GEJonathan. As someone who has been a leading voice for our youth and a Third Force approach to Nigeriaโs democracy, I believe POโs candidacy is a welcome development.”
