A foundation member and erstwhile National Auditor of the All Progressives Congress, Dr George Moghalu, has formally exited the ruling party.

Moghalu made his resignation known in a detailed letter addressed to his Uruagu Ward 1 chairman in Nnewi North Local Government Area of Anambra State, on Tuesday.

A copy of the letter, titled ‘Resignation of Membership of the APC’, was also forwarded to his state and local government chairmen.

Although the former Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority did not indicate his next destination, he cited personal reasons for his decision.

The resignation follows months of speculation and repeated denials regarding Moghalu’s plans to leave the party.

He wrote, “I bring you the good wishes of my dear family and wish to formally notify you of my decision to resign my membership of the APC with effect from today, 26 August 2024.

“Please accept this as my personal decision. It is my utmost desire and expectation that we will continue to maintain the cordial relationship that we have built together over the years.

“I wish you and all the members of the party the very best. Please accept, as always, the assurance of my best regards.”
