A Retired military officer, Col. Gboluga Mosugu has joined the 2023 presidential race by picking the Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms of the People’s Redemption Party (PRP) calling on the federal government of President Mohammed Buhari to renew efforts in the fight against banditry.
Mosugu made the call shortly after he received the presidential form of the People’s Redemption party PRP at the party’s headquarters in Abuja on Saturday 30th April 2022.
According to our source the PRP’s Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms for the post of president is pegged at N10 million, while that of the governor is N2.5 million; Senate– N1.5 million; House of Representatives- N250,000 and House of Assembly-N100, 000.
Rtd Col. Mosugu, who lamented that the spate of banditry and kidnappings in Nigeria has gotten to a worrisome dimension, charged the federal government to intensify efforts in the fight against the ugly trends.
In his. Words “Security is everyone’s business. All hands must be on deck to curb the menace.”
“Relevant and actionable laws by the parliament could go a long toward addressing the issues of kidnappings.
“We will do the right thing. We just need the political will to do the right thing and security will be tackled, the economy will grow and there will be progress,” he said.
Col.Mosugu also stated that he was not deterred by the aspirations of Kola Abiola because “power comes from God and it is the delegates that will determine who will be their flag bearer”.
“It’s not by money, the position is not for sale; it’s for whoever the delegates will select as their flag bearer,” he said
It’s worthy of notes that Mosugu was commissioned as a second lieutenant in 1982 and voluntarily retired after 29 years of service from the Nigerian Army in June 2007, with the rank of Colonel.
