Ohanaeze don’t have powers to influence Igbo voting -Moghalu


Chief Kingsley Moghalu, presidential candidate of the Young People’s Party (YPP), says the endorsement of a particular candidate by Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo is in vain.
Moghalu disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, on Wednesday in Awka.
He said youths in South East are now wise to know who to vote for and not for Ohanaeze to compel them on what to do.
“We in the South East now know that our elders in Ohanaeze have been economical with the truth, they tell us what they want us to believe for reasons best known to them.
“This time around the youth in the region have decided to vote for candidates that appeal to them in terms of development plans for the country,” he said.
Moghalu said he has done much for Nigerians to deserve their votes in Feb. 23, poll.
“I did so much for the country while serving as the deputy governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
“I introduced POS services; the ATM card was also my initiative as well as Bank Verification Number (BVN) for identification of accounts.
“I did all these to make the economy vibrant, it is also my contribution towards making ease of doing business possible.
“If given the chance, I will do more for the country to enable it join the league of developed countries where youths will be proud to stay and earn their living,” he said.

The shapes of traffic signs enable you to identify them easily. Clear and efficient signing is an essential part of highway and traffic engineering and a road with poor signing or with badly maintained signs is classed as an unsatisfactory road. With this in mind, Nigerian roads could be classed as unsatisfactory, as they are bare of road signs. Road users depend on signing for information and guidance, enforceme...
