Former All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, George Moghalu, has officially joined the Labour Party (LP) as he sets his sights on the upcoming governorship election in Anambra State, scheduled for the next 15 months.
Moghalu, a former pioneer auditor of the APC and the immediate past Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), made his switch to the Labour Party on Tuesday at his ward in Uruagu, Nnewi, Anambra State.
After resigning from the APC on August 26, 2024, Moghalu was warmly welcomed by the Labour Party’s ward chairman, executive members, and the local government chairman in Uruagu. He was presented with an official membership card by the ward chairman, Chijioke Okeke, after completing the necessary paperwork.
Okeke, speaking at the event, described Moghalu as a visionary leader and dedicated technocrat. He expressed his excitement at Moghalu’s arrival, highlighting his years of experience and resourcefulness as key assets that would strengthen the party. Okeke also expressed optimism about the party’s future, noting that Moghalu’s presence would significantly boost their chances in upcoming elections, especially the Anambra South Senatorial election.
In his remarks, Moghalu shared that his decision to join the Labour Party came after thoughtful deliberation and consultations with his family, community, and supporters. He said, “I believe the Labour Party best reflects my values, principles, and vision for the people of Anambra State. The party’s dedication to the welfare of citizens aligns perfectly with my ideals.”
Moghalu pledged to collaborate closely with party leaders and members to build a united and inclusive political culture that works for the benefit of all.
The event saw attendance from key figures, including the Uruagu, Nnewi ward 1 chairman, Labour Party executives, the Nnewi North local government chairman, and stakeholders. Friends and political associates were also present to celebrate Moghalu’s entry into the Labour Party.
