Rights activist and Lagos lawyer, Femi Falana SAN has spoken on the resignation of former presidential candidate of Young Progressives Party (YPP), Kingsley Moghalu, from his party.
Moghalu had used his Twitter account to announce his resignation from his party, YPP.
Moghalu said, the need to push for electoral reforms ahead of 2023 general elections informed his decision to quit partisan politics.
“Without electoral reform, which includes electronic voting, our democracy will remain weak. Let’s fix this before 2023.”
But speaking on the issue, Falana accused Moghalu of resigning because he was given an appointment by the ruling party, APC.
Speaking at the 2019 Felabration symposium held at the NECA HOUSE, Lagos State, Falana was quoted as saying, “Is Dr. Moghalu still around? I think it is unfair to single out Dr. Moghalu for recognition.
“We should not celebrate opportunism. Here is a politician who contested on the platform of a party, who has moved conveniently to the APC.
“They’ve just given him an appointment and he has just discarded his own political party. I don’t think that is fair for all.”
