Kingsley Moghalu, a candidate for president in the general elections of 2019, stated on Friday, August 12, that “Peter Obi’s candidacy is a wonderful development.”
On Thursday morning, August 11, 2022, both men met at the home of the former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and “talked about the situation of the nation.”

Moghalu wrote on his verified Twitter handle, with accompanying images;
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 “Okwute”.
We collaborated closely when he was Governor of @AnambraStateGov and I, also an Anambra indigene, was Deputy Governor of @cenbank.

Moghalu went down memory lane by recounting Obi’s achievements during his tenure as the Governor of Anambra State.
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. PO’s ’s invitation to me to deliver the 6th Edition of the Anambra State Distinguished Public Service Lecture in 2011 on the subject of Nigeria’s banking reforms, his conferment on me of the Anambra State Government’s Special Award for Excellence, and our collaboration as colleagues in Nigeria’s Economic Management Team (EMT) under then-President @GEJonathan.
Moghalu went on to state that Obi’s 2023 candidacy is a welcome development for the youths and the third force.
Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, is the presidential flagbearer of the Labour Party, and has significant support on social media, especially among the youths.
