2019: Buhari, Atiku are ‘twins’ – Moghalu

By
The presidential candidate of Young Peoples Party, YPP, Prof. Kingsley Moghalu, has likened the candidates of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Muhammadu Buhari, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar as twins in issues of corruption.

Moghalu, who made the comparison of both men at an interactive session with newsmen in Abuja, noted that both PDP and APC lacked direction and have nothing new to offer the nation.

Against that backdrop, he charged the electorates to reject them in next month’s presidential election.

He said; “The All Progressives Congress and Peoples Democratic Party are twins in corruption.

“In APC corruption is concentrated among the cabal while in PDP corruption is democratised. My presidency will restore Nigeria to path of greatness.”

He added that his “emergence would shake the world like the result of the United States Presidential election of 2016.

“We have the plan and strategy to win the election, I will be sworn in as the president. Many people will be shocked just the way people were shocked in the United States election of 2016 when people went to bed thinking Hillary Clinton would be declared winner only to wake up and heard Donald Trump declared winner.”

Moghalu said his government would give education priority because no nation could rise beyond the level of its education, just as he assured to resolve the crisis with the Academic Staff Union of Universities if elected president by committing necessary funds to the sector.

“The office of the presidency is for a person that has the mental capacity for policy formulation and execution. Joblessness, insecurity and ASUU strike will end with YPP.

“My government will invest in education and honour agreement with the union. No society can rise above the level of education of its citizens.”

He said he would remove fuel subsidy and other subsidies on consumption but would subsidise production to get money to run government.

“We will expand the base of taxation, privatise the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation partly and remove fuel subsidy.”

On the minimum wage, Moghalu asked the government to respect agreements reached with the Nigerian Labour Congress on the N30,000 minimum wage.

Moghalu, who was the former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, said the N30,000 minimum wage is doable and there should be no form of excuse from any state government.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission
