A presidential aspirant, Kingsley Moghalu, on Sunday night, met with the former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, over the Third Force movement ahead of the 2023 elections.
Jega and a foremost political economist, Prof. Pat Utomi, among others had in October last year unveiled a non-partisan coalition under the aegis of the National Consultative Front.
The forum was said to have been designed to galvanise support for legislation for the electronic transfer of election results.
It seeks to challenge the country’s dominant parties, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Meanwhile, Moghalu who is a former Central Bank of Nigeria’s Deputy Governor had declared his intention to contest the 2023 presidential election under the African Democratic Congress platform.
On his Twitter handle on Sunday night, Moghalu disclosed that he and the former INEC boss had a frank discussion on the need for a virile third force movement.
He tweeted, “With my friend Prof Attahiru Jega earlier this evening at his home in Abuja. We had a full and frank discussion about how a progressive political force can salvage our country and keep the barbarians at the gate (or evict them from the living room!).”
