Former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank, Prof. Kingsley Moghalu has denied claims that he has joined Nigeria’s ruling Political Party, All Progressive Alliance (APC)
In his press release made available to Anaedonline.ng, Prof. Moghalu described the report that he has joined APC as false, mischievous, and tendentious.
The press release as seen below:
My attention has been drawn to a news story published by Elombah News, an online medium, with the false and misleading headline “Kingsley Moghalu has Joined APC – Anambra Spokesman”
This headline, and the claim on which the report is based, is false, mischievous, and tendentious. In late 2019 I resigned my membership of the Young Progressives Party, the party platform on which I was a presidential candidate in 2019, but I did not subsequently join, and have not joined, any other political party. I am therefore NOT a member of ANY political party in Nigeria today.
The article by Elombah News is doubly mischievous because, despite my denying this false claim when the online news outlet contacted me, Elombah News nevertheless went ahead to publish the story with this mischievous and misleading headline with no evidence to back it up, while burying my comment debunking the false claim deep inside its story. This is irresponsible journalism.
I ask the public to disregard this fake news report and to be guided by this clarification. “
It was recalled that Human Rights lawyer, Femi Falana, months ago, claimed that Prof. Kingsley Moghalu was now a member of the All Progressive Congress (APC).
Such a claim was later refuted by him when he issued an apology in what we understood was a name misplacement with his fellow Nnewi brother, George Muoghalu.
