Kingsley Moghalu, a presidential aspirant, has said that he will end insecurity in Nigeria in just a few months if given the opportunity to take over the government.
Moghalu told Vanguard that in 12 to 18 months, the issue of terrorism will become a thing of the past.
According to him, whether it is terrorism in the form of banditry, whether it is terrorism in terms of Boko Haram, terrorism in whatever form, his government will have the capacity to crush it. ‘’We will bring it to an end,’’ he said.
“Security! If I am elected president today, within 12 to 18 months of my presidency, we will end the terrorism problem in this country. Whether it is terrorism in the form of the so-called banditry, whether it is terrorism in terms of Boko Haram, terrorism in whatever form, we will crush it. We will bring it to an end. We are not going to tolerate the lives of Nigerians being treated as worthless by terrorists. My number one charge as President is to protect the citizens of this country and to protect the territorial integrity of Nigeria and I will deliver on that job 100 percent.
“It is going to be my absolute priority because, without it, the economy cannot reach its full potential. And so, security, economy, you know, everything matters. Look at how Nigeria has been broken, divided.
“Like I said earlier, the very idea of Nigeria is being contested. It is my business as President to reestablish the idea of Nigeria on the business of equity and justice to all parts of Nigeria and all persons in this country. So, I am not going to be “one Nigeria” for mouth or in the morning and then hidden agenda by night. No! And that is what we have seen so far. The people who talk a lot about one Nigeria do not practice it. But I will practice it as President and by doing so, by being fair to everyone you restore confidence in citizenship of the country. You inspire Nigerians. You need a modern president who can inspire Nigerians to be proud to be Nigerians by setting out a worldview, a vision that we can all aspire to with a common destiny.
“That is the point and that is what leadership does. Look at presidents in countries of the world that are making progress and compare that to what we have in Nigeria today where all you have is just politicians struggling for power so that they can corner public resources but they won’t deliver anything,” he said.
