The deputy governorship candidate of African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dr Ndubuisi Nwobu has said that the Labour Party ticket for the governorship Anambra governorship election, held by Dr George Moghalu is worse than tissue paper.
Nwobu was reacting to a question from journalists during an interview on why Labour Party Presidential candidate in 2023, Mr Peter Obi is supporting Moghalu instead of John Nwosu of ADC, where he had initially joined the coalition.
Nwosu said: “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?
“From the best of my knowledge, he (Moghalu) emanated from a primary election conducted by Abure and the Supreme Court has said there was no leadership, and the judgement was delivered a day before the primary election.
“You can’t stand something on nothing. If you don’t have a leadership, who conducted the primary from where you emerged? I see his running around and campaigning as creating further confusion in the political field. He knows that is not a ticket, he is not a candidate.”
On why the big names in the ADC coalition have not come out to join himself and his candidate, Mr John Nwosu in the Anambra governorship campaign, Nwobu said the party was strongly in their support.
He said: “We have held our flagoff campaign, and we have been going around campaigning. What I can tell you is that it may not be convenient for us to take our stakeholders around for things like local government tours.
“For example, if we are going on campaign to Ogbaru, it may be unnecessary to take them along with us, considering the logistics involved, and knowing that the people you are referring to are very busy people.
“We are however planning our round off campaign, and you will see all those big names you’re referring to,” Nwobu assured.
