Moghalu clears air on dumping APC for LP

An erstwhile member of the National Working Committee, NWC, of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, George Moghalu, has refuted social media rumours that he has defected to the opposition Labour Party, LP.
The social media was awash last week that he had left the APC for the Labour Party.But speaking with newsmen in Abuja, the Anambra-born politician debunked the rumours, stressing that he does not switch parties frequently.
He noted that his focus remains on his law degree from a private university in Abuja and his pursuit of a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) at the University of Abuja.“You must understand that at my level in politics in this country, I have never jumped from one party to the other. However, if I must leave the APC for LP, it has to be consequent upon my signing a statement from a recognized representative or my media office. And not until that happens, I will say that I am still with the APC.
“The social media report on my joining LP actually generated so much concern that people across the globe called to confirm the authenticity of that report. My answer has been that as of today, I have not left the APC. If I am going to leave the APC, there is a process, especially for somebody at my level.
The process has to do with resigning membership of where I am now, not by proxy; but by formally writing to notify my Ward about my intention to leave the party and I will make the resignation public. I may not give any reason because I am at liberty to do so as it is my fundamental right.“If I decide to continue with politics or join another political party after due consultations, I will announce where I am going. I may even decide to play politics without joining any political party. I can be an independent player, and even though there is no independent candidacy, I can be an independent influencer or driver of the process. That does not make me a non-political actor. It is not only until you belong to a political party that you are a politician. And let me repeat, if I decide to leave the APC I will announce it publicly,” he stated.

My resignation not admission of guilt – Nnaji
My decision to step aside is therefore a personal choice, not an admission of guilt. It is a principled decision to respect the sanctity of due process and to preserve the integrity of the judicial proceedings currently before the court

The Minister of Innovation, Science, and Technology, Geoffrey Nnaji, says his resignation from President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet is not an admission of guilt but a personal choice.
Nnaji, who was appointed in August 2023, announced his resignation in a letter to the President on Tuesday, expressing appreciation for the opportunity to serve.
This is contained in a statement he signed in Abuja.
Nnaji was appointed as minister by the administration of President Bola Tinubu in August 2023, but resigned amidst controversies surrounding allegations of certificate forgery.
He noted that over the past week, an orchestrated, sustained campaign of falsehood, politically motivated, and malicious attacks was waged against him across print, electronic and social media platforms.
Nnaji emphasized that these unfounded allegations and media distortions not only caused personal distress but also distracted him from work.
He had put in five decades building a reputation anchored on hard work, honour and service to humanity.
Nnaji said that he could not, in good conscience, allow these distortions to cast a shadow over the noble objectives of the present administration.
“My decision to step aside is therefore a personal choice, not an admission of guilt. It is a principled decision to respect the sanctity of due process and to preserve the integrity of the judicial proceedings currently before the court, ” he said.
Nnaji expressed optimism that in the end, justice will vindicate the just.
