Former National Auditor of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Dr George Moghalu, has formally resigned his membership of the party.
Though Moghalu adduced a personal reason for the decision, it is believed that the quest to actualize his ambition to administer Anambra State must have been the determining factor.
Moghalu who lost out in controversial circumstances to Senator Andy Uba in the lead-up to the APC governorship primary in 2021 is said to be well positioned to pick the governorship ticket of the opposition Labour Party (LP) ahead of the Anambra governorship poll next year.
The former Managing Director of National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), in his resignation letter addressed to the chairman Uruagu Ward 1, Nnewi, Nnewi North LGA, Anambra State and titled; resignation of membership of the APC, was copied to both the Local Governments Area (LGA) and State Chairmen of the party.
“I bring you good wishes of my dear family and to formally notify you of my decision to resign my membership of the APC with effect from today, August 26, 2024,” he said in the letter.
“Please, kindly accept this as my personal decision.
It is my utmost desire and expectations that all of us will continue to maintain cordial relationship that we have built together over the years.
“I wish you and all the members of the party the very best. Please, accept as always the assurance of my best regards.”
