We should not celebrate opportunism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere is a politician who contested on the platform of a party, who has moved conveniently to the APC. They\u2019ve just given him an appointment and he has just discarded his own political party. I don\u2019t think that is fair for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Moghalu while reacting to the senior lawyer\u2019s claims said \u201cit is surprising that a man of Mr. Falana\u2019s standing could make such weighty statements without verification.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cI am not a member of the APC. I have not been given any appointment by the APC government. This effort to malign my character and reputation, by an individual I have always respected, was a complete shock to me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Also:\u00a0[Video] Falana Attacks Moghalu For Dumping YPP For Political Gains<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI demand and expect an apology and a public retraction of this falsehood from Mr. Falana.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Falana tendering an apology to Moghalu said: \u201cAt the symposium held in memory of the late Fela Anikulapo-Kuti in Lagos yesterday, I did say that Professor Kingsley Moghalu had called it quits with the YPP, the political party which sponsored his presidential election in February 2019. I equally said that he had joined the ruling party and accepted an appointment from the federal government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile confirming his resignation from the YPP, Professor Moghalu has stated that he has neither joined the ruling party nor accepted an appointment from the federal government. I believe him in toto.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did not set out to embarrass Professor Moghalu as it was a case of mistaken identity.
