The immediate past Managing Director (MD) of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Chief George Moghalu has re-affirmed his resolve to join forces with other APC stakeholders in Anambra state to deliver the state to the party in 2025.
Mr Moghalu said this in a statement made through his media office on Saturday in Abuja while dismissing an online story captioned “Moghalu: Ifeanyi Uba cannot win Anambra for APC.”
Describing the report as fake news, Moghalu asserted that at no time in the course of his interview with some selected newsmen did he utter what was attributed to him in the headline.
He added that the headline was not in line with the content of the interview, maintaining that the caption was nothing but the imagination of those spreading the fake news.
The statement read, “Our attention has been drawn to the fake news being circulated by a faceless group with the above-referenced caption and credited for our Principal, Chief Dr George N. Moghalu.
“It is clear it is a sponsored article with the sole intention of creating enmity between our Principal, his friend and his brother, both Leaders of our great Party in Anambra State.
“It is very unfortunate that these faceless elements are trying everything possible to twist facts that are before the public. The interview granted by Our Principal was widely reported in the Sun, Nation, Thisday and Daily Trust Newspapers.
“From the content of the interview, it is clear that the headline under reference only exists in the imagination of those spreading the fake news. For the avoidance of doubt, let us set the record straight.
“At no point in the interview did our Principal say that Senator Ifeanyi Uba cannot win Anambra for APC.
“We wish to state that our principal is ever ready to join other progressive-minded stakeholders to move the party forward.
“We welcome Senator Ifeanyi Uba and other progressives who joined our party, The APC.”
Moghalu however, urged party members and the general public to disregard the “baseless and sensational headline”.
