The founder of the Institute for Governance and Economic Transformation (IGET), Prof Kingsley Moghalu, has assured that he will create unity through what he called powerful communication of a vision of new possibilities and through executive actions.

Speaking with Comrade Lawrence Onuzulike, the National President of Igbos For United And Progressive Nationhood (IPAN), he noted that Nigerian leaders have not been able to properly utilize communication and symbols for nation-building and create unity of purpose among Nigerians, leading to maladministration and mismanagement of public funds that have bedeviled Nigeria over the years.

“Then I will ensure that every Nigerian is treated equally under the rule of law in an impartial manner, unlike what we have today.”

On Security and Economy, Prof Muoghalu said he will deploy Strategic or Developmental Capitalism to enhance free market economy where property rights, innovation and access to capital shall be the order of the day.

“The free market is the most guaranteed way to create the wealth of nations, so we will vastly reduce the heavy hand of state intervention in the economy and simply focus on creating an enabling environment.
