The Labour Party screening committee has cleared the duo of former Managing Director of the Nigeria Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Chief George Muoghalu and Sir John Nwosu, for the party’s governorship primaries slated for April 5 in Anambra State.
Nwosu was the Director of the Obi/Datti Presidential Campaign Council in the 2023 election.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Obiora Ifoh, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday in Abuja.
The screening committee led by the Deputy Minority Whip of the House of Representatives, George Ozodinobi, screened the two governorship aspirants on Friday.
The committee later submitted the result to the party’s national leadership.
Ozodinobi praised the two aspirants for being true party members and commended them for their track records and loyalty to the party’s leadership.
He assured them of the party’s non-partisan approach in the selection process.
“We will work according to the laid down rules and we want to assure you of highest level of transparency throughout the process of the selection.
“We will work to ensure that we approach the election as a united house, without rancour.
“It is going to be a brotherly contest where everyone in the party will join our flag-bearer in the onerous task of campaigning and winning the November governorship election for the salvation of Anambra,” the chairman stated.
