Former All Progressives Congress (APC) National Auditor, George Moghalu, has officially joined the Labour Party (LP) ahead of next year’s Anambra State governorship election.
The immediate past managing director of National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) formally made the move in Uruagu-Nnewi, his home base in the industrial capital of the State.
Moghalu, who had earlier resigned from APC some weeks ago, was received by LP ward chairman, executives and Local Government Chairman in Uruagu Nnewi where after filling the party’s form he was presented with a membership card.
Defending his decision to join the party, Moghalu said: “I have resolved to join LP after a thorough evaluation and careful consultations with members of my family, community, supporters and other critical stakeholders of the State.
“I have come to the conclusion that the party is better suited to champion my ideals and principles as the party aligns with my core values and commitment as well as multifaceted perspective, with a profound dedication to the welfare of citizens.
“I will work harmoniously with the leaders and chieftains of the party in forging a better political culture that unites, inspires, and serves the greater good,” he promised.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Ward Chairman described Moghalu as a patriotic technocrat, and a down to earth man; stressing that he was excited to welcome him into the party as he had over the years shown himself to be a creative, prudent and resourceful administrator.
“His entrance will boost the party’s chances of winning major elections going forward especially with the incoming Anambra South senatorial election which the party has to show capacity,” he said.
The event was witnessed by Uruagu Nnewi Ward 1 Chairman, Executives, Nnewi North Local Government party chairman, 2023 Nnewi North LP House of Assembly candidate, some stakeholders of the party, friends and political associates who were present to welcome him to LP.
