A FOUNDING member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief George Moghalu, has thrown a big spanner in the works of those he believed were hallucinating about his quitting the party.
Reacting to reports making the rounds on the social media, which he suspects were the handiwork of political merchants, that he was dumping the APC for Labour Party (LP), Moghalu told journalists on Sunday, June 23, at his Nnewi country home in Anambra State, that quitting APC or politics generally remains his decision to make.
According to him: “…we set up and nurtured this party, and if for any reason I decide to leave, it won’t be a speculation. There is a stipulated process and constitutional procedure to be followed. I will formally notify the party hierarchy right from my Uruagu Nnewi Ward up to the national headquarters of the party.
“Remember, I held a national position in the party for years. I also served the nation in other capacities. I can’t just sneak out or into any party if such idea ever crosses my political mind at all.”
Moghalu, who was the immediate past director general of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), also held the position of the national auditor of the party until his appointment by former President Muhammadu Buhari.
On the possible source or reason for the speculation, he decline making any guess, but insisted he would never make any political move in the shadows, saying he remained one of the few very disciplined politicians in Nigeria, consistent and focused, who has never dumped their party.
