A founding National Auditor of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) George Moghalu, has picked the Anambra governorship nomination and expression of interest forms of the Labour Party, (LP).
The forms were presented to Moghalu at LP’s Secretariat in Abuja by the party’s National Chairman, Julius Abure.
Speaking after picking the forms, Moghalu expressed hope of becoming the next governor of the state.
He said, “I have confidence that the party leadership will provide us platform for a contestation.
“Our ambition is not a war, the truth is that at the end of the day one person will fly the flag of the Labour Party in Anambra State, and I believe with confidence in God that I will be that person.
“Mr. Chairman, one assurance I will give you today is that I will not betray confidence, I will not let you down. I will go with Labour and I will win with Labour Party by God’s grace.”
Moghalu said he’s in the race to unseat Governor Chukwuma Soludo in the November 2025 gubernatorial election.
Explaining why he joined the LP, the immediate past Managing Director of National Inland Waterways Authority, NIWA, said he took the decision after consultations with his constituents and other stakeholders.
“A lot of people who know me, they were actually surprised that I was able to change my political platform because I have always remained in one political platform since inception of this political dispensation, but I had to leave to join the Labour Party,” Moghalu said.
On his part, Abure appreciated Moghalu for having confidence in LP, while assuring him of a level playing ground during the party’s governorship primary in Awka, Anambra State.
