Ahead of the upcoming Anambra State Governorship election in 2025, the former National Auditor of the All Progressives Congress, APC, George Moghalu, has denied the speculations thaelectiont he has left the APC.
Recall that reports have been making rounds that former National Auditor had left APC and joined the Labour Party (LP) ahead of next year’s Anambra State Governorship election.
The report linking the former Managing Director of National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) with the move to LP trended widely recently.
But reacting formally to the speculated move, Moghalu recently in dispelled the rumour. He described the report as shocking.
According to him, the story generated interest and concerns among my friends, relatives and political associates.
Moghalu, however, explained that he had no such intention.
He said, “If I planned to leave the APC, I would start the process by resigning my membership from my ward before making it public.
“You must understand that at my level in politics in this country, I have never jumped from one party to the other. However, if I must leave the APC for the LP, it has to be consequent upon my signing a statement from a recognized representative or my media office.
“And not until that happens, I will say that I am still with the APC. The social media report on my joining the LP actually generated so much concern. That people across the globe called to confirm the authenticity of that report. My answer has been that as of today, I have not left the APC. If I am going to leave the APC. There is a process, especially for somebody at my level.
“The process has to do with resigning membership of where I am now. Not by proxy, but by formally writing to notify my Ward about my intention to leave the party. And I will make the resignation public. I may not give any reason because I am at liberty as my fundamental right.
“If I decide to continue with politics or join another political party after due consultations, I will announce where I am going. I may even decide to play politics without joining any political party.
“I can be an independent player. And even though there is no independent candidacy; I can be an independent influencer or driver of the process.
“That does not make me a non-political actor. It is not only until you belong to a political party that you are a politician. And let me repeat, if I decide to leave the APC, I will announce it publicly,” he noted.
