Anambra guber: Moghalu quits APC, set to pick LP guber ticket

Former National Auditor of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. George Moghalu, has formally resigned from the party.

Though Moghalu adduced personal reasons for the decision, it is believed that the quest to actualise his ambition of becoming the next governor of Anambra State must have been the determining factor.

Moghalu, who lost out in controversial circumstances to Andy Uba in the lead-up to the APC governorship primary in 2021, is said to be well positioned to pick the governorship ticket of the opposition Labour Party (LP) ahead of the Anambra governorship poll next year.

The former Managing Director of National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), in his resignation letter addressed to the Chairman, Uruagu Ward 1, Nnewi, Nnewi North Local Council, Anambra State, titled, ‘Resignation of membership of the APC,” was copied to both the local council and state Chairmen of the party.

The letter dated August 26, reads: “I bring you good wishes of my family, and to formally notify you of my decision to resign my membership of the APC with effect from today, August 26, 2024.
“Please, accept this as my personal decision.

“It is my utmost desire and expectation that all of us will maintain the cordial relationship we have built together over the years.

“I wish you and all the members of the party the very best. Please, accept as always the assurance of my best regards.”
