…Says November Election Crucial to 2027 Presidency
The Labour Party Governorship candidate, Dr. George Moghalu, has declared that the November 8 governorship election in Anambra State will play a decisive role in the 2027 presidential race.
Speaking on Tuesday at Umunze and Nwafija in Orumba South LGA and Agulu in Anaocha LGA as he kick-started his community campaign tour, Moghalu reminded Ndi Anambra that “if we truly desire an Igbo presidency, Anambra must make a bold statement. Our leader, His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi, needs his own state to stand firm in 2027, and the whole country, especially Obi’s supporters, are watching Ndi Anambra.”
Moghalu lamented that Anambra has no clear blueprint for development and is riddled with insecurity. He promised to end insecurity in Orumba South and across the state if elected. He cried out over the activities of “Aka Odo” revenue collectors and vowed to end the exploitative practice. He insisted that local government elections must be conducted credibly and that the era of governors interfering with LG allocations will end under his watch.
On security, he said: “our vigilantes must be trained, documented, equipped with technology, and properly funded. Why can’t Anambra have a control room system to monitor activities across the state? It is already working in Enugu and it is possible here. Today, the Agunechemba security outfit who are expected to protect us have instead become a source of fear because they are untrained and unregulated.”
He urged the people to remain vigilant and not be deceived by vote-buying, warning that those who failed for four years would return with money to buy votes. “Do not mortgage your future for ten thousand naira. Ask them what they have achieved in the years they stayed in power. Vote for Labour Party, because Peter Obi’s journey to the presidency begins with Anambra Governorship election,”
Moghalu also faulted Governor Soludo for constantly attacking Obi instead of showing his scorecard. “Soludo acts as if he was commissioned to bring down Obi, but whether he likes it or not, Obi has awakened the political consciousness of Ndi Igbo and brought us back to the national political table. Fortune can only be delayed but not denied; all powers belong to God and He gives it to whom He pleases,” Moghalu said.
The people of Umunze, Nwafija, and Agulu communities in return assured him of their total support, promising to stand by him and deliver massively for the Labour Party in the coming election.
