David-Chyddy Eleke in Awka
Two governorship aspirants of the Labour Party (LP) for the Anambra State 2025 election, Messrs George Moghalu and John Nwosu, may likely meet to harmonise their interests before the primary election.
Both aspirants who hail from Nnewi town, in Nnewi North Local Government Area of the state, were currently in the race for the ticket of the Labour Party for the election, billed to hold in November this year.
Moghalu, the immediate past Managing Director of Nigeria Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), disclosed this at a press conference in his house on new year’s day.
He described Nwosu as his brother and in-law, saying the possibility of them meeting to harmonise interest to avoid waste of resources and also ensure the protection of Nnewi interest was inevitable.
“He (Nwosu) is my brother and friend, in fact my in-law. Nothing is cast in iron and we have a good personal relationship. We also have our relations who are also involved in the politics of the town. I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of us meeting and discussing, so that we don’t waste resources and time.
“We need to work together to actualise the Nnewi dream. It is not impossible to meet, politics is about human dynamics, so I have no problem with that. I will not rule that out, even the party constitution provides for such. So, we can discuss to ensure that things work out well.
“What is important is that we want Labour Party to form government of the state, so we are working together about this. We will meet, certainly. There is still a lot of time. Yesterday we were together in Onitsha, and before the primary election, we may still meet and hold a conversation,” he said.
Moghalu, however, said what was incontestable was the fact that he has thrown his hat in the ring to replace Governor Chukwuma Soludo, insisting that he has all it would take to do better and even set the state on the right part.
