Former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and ex-presidential aspirant, Prof. Kingsley Moghalu, has disassociated himself from reports naming him as the Labour Party (LP) candidate in the recently concluded Anambra State governorship election.

In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday morning, Moghalu described the reports as false and misleading, expressing disappointment that some media outlets even used his photograph alongside the stories.

“I am distressed to have seen several news reports… citing ‘Kingsley Moghalu’ as the candidate of the Labour Party in this election, with some running my photograph along with their reports,” he wrote.

“These reports are false, unfortunate and smack of lazy reporting, as they apparently conflated Chief George Moghalu, who was the actual Labour Party candidate, with me.”

He clarified that he is not a member of any political party and did not contest in the November 8, 2025 election.

“For the avoidance of doubt, I resigned from partisan politics in September 2022, ahead of the 2023 general elections. I was the presidential candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) in the 2019 presidential election,” he stated.

Moghalu urged journalists and media outlets to verify facts before publication to avoid misleading the public and damaging reputations.
