Kingsley Moghalu, a presidential candidate for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has caused mixed reactions on social media after he tweeted about the 2023 presidential election.
The former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) claimed he forgot to inform President Muhammadu Buhari of his plan to run for president.
The post was ostensibly in response to All Progressives Congress (APC) leader Bola Tinubu and Ebonyi Governor Dave Umahi’s visits to the State House.
On Monday and Tuesday, the two told Buhari in separate meetings that they will run for the party’s ticket.
“I forgot to inform President @Mbuhari that I am running for President. But I informed Nigerians, of whom he is one, so no wahala!”, Moghalu wrote.
Some people were offended by the tweet, and some responded with photographs showing him handing out biscuits to children, while others made jokes or offered advise.
