The deputy governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dr. Ndubuisi Nwobu, has dismissed the Labour Party governorship ticket held by Dr. George Moghalu, describing it as “tissue paper.”
Nwobu, who spoke to journalists in Awka, faulted the decision of Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, to throw his weight behind Moghalu instead of the ADC flagbearer, John Nwosu.
He queried Moghalu’s legitimacy, stressing that the primary that produced him lacked legal backing.
“From all indication, he (Peter Obi) is campaigning for the Labour Party candidate (George Moghalu). Is that one a candidate? Does he have a ticket? Is that one a ticket?” Nwobu asked.
The ADC Candidate argued that the Supreme Court had earlier ruled there was no valid leadership in the Labour Party on the eve of the said primary election.
According to him, “You can’t stand something on nothing. If you don’t have a leadership, who conducted the primary from where you emerged?”
Nwobu said Moghalu’s campaigns were nothing more than a ploy to “create further confusion in the political field.”
On why top stakeholders in ADC have not been visible in the governorship race, Nwobu explained that the party structure was fully behind Nwosu.
“We are however planning our round off campaign, and you will see all those big names you’re referring to,” he assured.
