A former prominent memberl of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. George Moghalu, has joined the Labour Party one month after resigning from the ruling party.

Chief Moghalu, who was the pioneer auditor of the APC and the immediate past Managing Director of National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) joined the Labour Party on Tuesday at his ward in Uruagu, Nnewi.

The former NIWA MD, who had earlier resigned from the APC on August 26, was received by the Ward Chairman, executive members and Local Government Chairman of Labour Party chapter in Uruagu Nnewi.

Dr. Moghalu was presented a Labour Party membership card by the Ward Chairman, Chijioke Okeke, who had earlier issued him a membership form which he filled out and returned to the party leaders during the visit.

Speaking at the event, the Ward Chairman described Dr. Moghalu as a patriotic technocrat, and a down-to-earth man; saying 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.

Okeke was hopeful that Moghalu’s presence in the Labour Party would boost the party’s chances of winning major elections going forward, especially with the upcoming Anambra South Senatorial election which the party has to show the capacity to win.

In his remarks, Chief Moghalu said: “I have resolved to join the Labour Party after a thorough evaluation and careful consultation of the members of my family, community, supporters and other critical stakeholders of the state.

“And, 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 multifaceted perspective, with a profound dedication to the welfare of citizens.”

Dr. Moghalu pledged to work harmoniously with the leaders and chieftains of the party in forging a better political culture that unites, inspires, and serves the greater good.
