The Governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) for the forthcoming Anambra gubernatorial election, George Moghalu, has denied reports claiming a court has disqualified him from the November 8 polls.
In a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Media, Johnson Okoye, Moghalu described the reports as baseless and politically motivated.
While insisting that his candidacy is not under threat, the candidate reaffirmed that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) duly monitored the Labour Party’s primary election and officially published his name as the party’s candidate.
The statement said: “Let us state clearly and unequivocally: these rumors are entirely false. Dr. Moghalu’s candidacy is not in question. His emergence as the Labour Party’s governorship candidate followed all lawful and party procedures, was duly monitored by INEC, and officially published. His legitimacy is indisputable.
“We are fully aware of those behind these malicious rumors. Their objective is obvious: to distract our campaign and confuse the people of Anambra, who rightly expect visionary and effective leadership.
“These are desperate tactics by politicians who, having lost their primaries, have migrated to other parties and now resort to cheap blackmail and propaganda. Ndi Anambra deserve to hear what these individuals can genuinely offer, not fabricated stories.”
Blaming political opponents for the report, Moghalu urged the public to disregard the “malicious falsehoods,” maintaining that his campaign remains focused on delivering good governance.
“Dr. Moghalu’s candidacy remains firm, anchored in law, integrity, and the will of the people. Our campaign continues, unwavering, resolute, and fully focused on delivering a better Anambra for every citizen,” the statement added.
