Fela Durotoye, consulting guru and leadership coach, says he is willing to collaborate with Kingsley Moghalu, former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, and other credible Nigerians willing to run for a new Nigeria.

Taking to his social media accounts on Wednesday, after Moghalu declared to run, Durotoye said it is time to end bitter rivalry and character assassination in Nigerian politics.

“Hearty congratulations to Professor @MoghaluKingsley who recently declared his intention to run for the Office of President in the 2019 Elections,” Durotoye wrote.

“I’m excited because my desire has always been that we would see a critical mass of credible and capable Nigerians who would answer the clarion call to serve our nation through elective office (executive & legislative) especially in 2019 and beyond.

“As many more credible candidates run for a New Nigeria, I look forward to collaborating with them in galvanizing our people to get their PVC’s and eventually voting the candidates of their choice in the next Elections.”

Durotoye said Nigeria must embrace this new version of politics, to encourage everyone who takes a bold step for a new nation.

“This generation must step away from the old politics of rivalry, competition, character assassination etc. Instead, our generation must embrace a new version of politics of collaboration and therefore encourage everyone who takes the bold step to offer themselves for true public service.

“The 2019 Elections just got more interesting and Nigeria can only be better for it. God bless Nigeria.”
