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.
