The former Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority conveyed his decision in a letter dated January 26, 2026, which he personally signed and submitted to the Chairman of the Labour Party in his ward, Uruagu, Nnewi, Anambra State.
In the letter obtained by our correspondent, Moghalu expressed appreciation to the Labour Party at the ward, state and national levels for providing him with the platform to contest the November 2025 off-cycle governorship election in Anambra State.
The resignation, which takes immediate effect, was conveyed in a courteous and appreciative tone, as Moghalu acknowledged the support and cooperation he received from party leaders and members throughout the campaign period.
The letter read in part, “I bring you the good wishes of my family and write to formally inform you of my resignation from the Labour Party, effective January 26, 2026. Let me also thank the party, through you, for providing me the opportunity to use the Labour Party platform to contest the last governorship election of our state.
“Please accept, as always, the assurance of my sincere regards and kindly convey same to the members.”
Punch Online had reported on November 9, 2025 that the Labour Party candidate in the November 8, 2025 Anambra State governorship election, George Moghalu, rejected the result of the poll.
