A member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), George Moghalu, has debunked social media rumours of his defection to the opposition Labour Party, (LP).
The social media was awash last week with news that he had left the APC for the Labour Party.
However, speaking with newsmen in Abuja, the Anambra-born politician debunked the rumours, stressing that such claims was false.
In his words, “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.
He continued, ” 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.
” 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.
