The deputy governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, for the November 8 Anambra election, Dr Ndubuisi Nwobu, has said that the Labour Party ticket for the election, held by Dr George Moghalu, is mere tissue paper.

Nwobu was asked to react on the issue that the Labour Party presidential candidate in 2023, Mr Peter Obi, is supporting LP's Moghalu, instead of his party, the ADC.

Nwosu said: “From all indications, he (Peter Obi) is campaigning for the Labour Party candidate, George Moghalu, but is that one a candidate? Does he have a ticket?

From the best of my knowledge, he (Moghalu) emanated from a primary election conducted by Julius 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 he is not a candidate.”

On why the big names in the ADC coalition have not come out to join him and his candidate, Mr John Nwosu, in the Anambra governorship campaign, Nwobu insisted that the party is supporting them.

He added: “We have held our flag-off 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.”
