Former Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority, Dr George Moghalu Tuesday purchased the Labour Party’s N30 million nomination and expression of interest forms to contest the Anambra State off-cycle governorship election.
Speaking shortly after receiving the forms at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja., Moghalu told journalists that he would not only win the party’s primary but also defeat the incumbent governor, Charles Soludo, in the main election.
He said, “For me, it is a privilege to run on the platform of LP because one may decide to run, but the party may refuse to accept you. It is not just about paying for the forms but also about being accepted by the people you want to represent.
“The assurance I want to give you today is that I will not betray your confidence because I am a party man. I understand the dynamics, having served in the party secretariat. My loyalty to wherever I belong cannot be questioned. I have always remained in one party since the inception of this democratic dispensation.
“But I had to leave for LP because, in every political consideration, two factors are critical. One is the party, and the other is the person. Ambition is not war or a fight because, at the end of the day, one person will fly the party’s flag in Anambra State. It is my wish and firm belief in God that I will be that person.”
