George Moghalu, a prominent former member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has officially joined the Labour Party (LP) as he prepares to run for the governorship of Anambra State in the upcoming election scheduled for about 15 months from now. The announcement was made on October 2, 2024, during a welcoming ceremony held at his ward in Uruagu, Nnewi.
Moghalu’ s shift to the Labour Party follows his resignation from the APC on August 26, 2024. He previously served as the APC’ s inaugural auditor and was the Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA). His departure from the APC and subsequent entry into the LP signal a significant political shift, as he aligns himself with a party that he believes better reflects his values and vision for the state.
During the event, Moghalu was warmly received by local Labour Party officials, including the ward chairman, Chijioke Okeke, and the local government chairman. Okeke presented Moghalu with his Labour Party membership card after he filled out the necessary forms. The occasion attracted numerous supporters and political associates, highlighting Moghalu’ s influence and network within the region.
In his address, Okeke praised Moghalu as a ” patriotic technocrat” whose leadership qualities and administrative skills would greatly benefit the Labour Party. He expressed optimism that Moghalu’ s membership would enhance the party’ s prospects in future elections, particularly with the Anambra South Senatorial election on the horizon. ” We believe his presence will inspire confidence in our party’ s ability to win major elections, ” Okeke stated.
Moghalu, reflecting on his decision to join the Labour Party, emphasized that it followed a comprehensive evaluation process involving consultations with his family, community, and key stakeholders in Anambra State. He articulated a vision for the Labour Party as an entity that aligns with his principles, stating, ” I have come to the conclusion that the Labour Party is better suited to champion my ideals and principles as the party aligns with my core values and commitment, as well as my multifaceted perspective, with a profound dedication to the welfare of citizens. ”
He reiterated his commitment to fostering a political culture that promotes unity, inspiration, and the greater good. Moghalu’ s entry into the LP is seen as a strategic move, especially as he gears up for the governorship race in Anambra, where he aims to leverage his extensive experience and connections to make a meaningful impact.
The event was attended by several notable figures, including the Uruagu, Nnewi ward 1 chairman and executives, as well as the Nnewi North local government party chairman. These local leaders expressed their support for Moghalu, signaling a collective enthusiasm within the party for his leadership potential.
As the political landscape in Anambra continues to evolve, Moghalu’ s transition to the Labour Party represents a significant development. His past roles and experience in governance position him as a formidable candidate in the upcoming elections, which are expected to be highly competitive. Observers will be keen to see how his influence within the LP translates into electoral success and whether it strengthens the party’ s foothold in the region.
Moghalu’ s decision to join the Labour Party may also resonate with voters seeking alternatives to the traditional power structures that have dominated Nigerian politics. By aligning with the LP, he aims to represent a fresh perspective and invigorate political discourse in Anambra State.
The Labour Party, which has gained traction in various parts of Nigeria, is now looking to capitalize on Moghalu’ s expertise and public profile. His involvement is expected to attract a diverse voter base and mobilize support for the party’ s platform, which emphasizes citizen welfare and good governance.
