Former presidential aspirant, Professor Kingsley Moghalu has given reasons for his exit from Nigerian politics.



The serial presidential candidate says the structure of the democratic setting is not ideal and it will be difficult to win without doing "unholy" things.

He wrote on his Twitter handle;

What I saw, past, present and future, that made me decide to exit partisan politics in Nigeria completely: We aren’t ready for real democracy. Too much poverty & the financial corruption it enables. Too many evil, powerful vested interests. Weak institutions. Illiterate electorate.

Disappointed that @inecnigeria, despite all assurances they gave us, has disappointed again. “Tactical disenfranchisement”. Police colluding with thugs. Delayed uploading of results to BVAS. Whether it’s just operational incapacity, human factor, or more, the result is the same.

@inec appears to be its own worst enemy. Too many weak link within the system.

The people showed enthusiasm but the system let them down in too many polling units - delayed arrivals of INEC officials, violence in certain states, delayed uploading of results. I see SANS on parade ahead.
