Former Central Bank of Nigeria deputy governor Kingsley Moghalu has rejected his reported inclusion in Atiku Abubakar’s 2027 campaign policy team. Moghalu said he was not consulted before his name was associated with the proposed team, according to Punch Nigeria.

Former Central Bank of Nigeria deputy governor Kingsley Moghalu has rejected his reported inclusion in Atiku Abubakar’s 2027 campaign policy team. Punch Nigeria reported that Moghalu said he was not consulted about the appointment. His objection concerns both the reported role and the process through which his name was included.

The available report does not provide further details about the proposed policy team, including its membership, responsibilities or when it was announced. It also does not state whether the campaign organisation has responded to Moghalu’s rejection. Moghalu is a former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Atiku Abubakar is identified in the report as the politician behind the 2027 campaign initiative. Moghalu’s position, as reported, is that he did not agree to serve on the team because he was not approached beforehand.
