Former presidential aspirant, Kingsley Moghalu, says the best choice he had ever made was to quit Nigerian politics.
Moghalu, who said this in a post on his verified X handle, attributed his decision to personal fulfilment, family priorities, and disillusionment with the political system.
He recalled how he abandoned his academic position in 2018 to contest the presidency in 2019.
Recall that he attempted another bid in 2023 but withdrew after what he described as betrayal by political operatives on an alternative platform.
“I decided it wasn’t worth the bother for someone who does not need the Nigerian ‘system’ to feed, and whose contributions are demanded and appreciated well elsewhere.
“So I ended my brief foray into politics and returned to international professional life. Best decision I ever made. Life since has been quiet, happy, and fulfilling,” he wrote.
He also stressed that he sacrificed time, health, family resources, and earnings from honest labour during his political pursuits.
