The Labour Party campaign in Anambra received a powerful boost as Hon. George Ozodinobi (Aja-Ajanze), Member representing Anaocha, Dunukofia, and Njikoka Federal Constituency, hosted the party’s Governorship Candidate, Dr. George Moghalu, and former Governor Peter Obi at a mini rally in Nimo.
From Oye Nimo to Egwegwe Square, the campaign drew jubilant crowds who cheered the Labour Party train, reinforcing the Recovery Agenda message across Anambra Central, according to a statement from the George Moghalu Media Center.
Dr. Moghalu, addressing the charged audience, declared that he was not afraid of the coming election, insisting that victory is assured by the Grace of God.
He accused the current administration of hoarding public funds only to bring them out for vote buying, while workers are denied the correct minimum wage and some teachers earn as little as ₦30,000 monthly. He lamented that Anambra has become a constant feature in the news for negative reasons—ranging from cult killings to kidnappings, and even killings linked to government-backed security operatives.
“It is only in this state that thugs known as Aka Odo are empowered to extort the people and collect illegal taxes. The governor has run out of ideas, especially on insecurity, and Anambra deserves better. Our people love the Labour Party, and our task is to go door to door, mobilize, and ensure they come out to vote for us. We will win together as one family,” Moghalu said.
In his remarks, Mr. Peter Obi reaffirmed his total support for Moghalu and thanked the host for mobilizing the people. He urged voters to resist inducement, warning that any money shared during elections was simply stolen public funds.
“During my time as governor, campaigns were issue-based. We equipped schools with computers, generators, and internet access, and provided vehicles for community vigilantes. Today, those things have disappeared because resources are wasted on vote buying instead of development,” Obi lamented, urging Ndi Anambra not to mortgage their future.
Both Moghalu and Obi condemned the recent altercations and campaign of calumny by some candidates, stating that “what we are saying and writing against each other today, is there for our children to read on social media tomorrow, and this is not the society we intend to grow”
They expressed deep gratitude to the host, Hon. George Ozodinobi, for his steadfastness and commitment.
In his closing message, Ozodinobi urged his constituents, Anambra central and Ndi Anambra at large to vote massively for the Labour Party in the November governorship election, stressing that the state’s future would be safer and brighter under Dr. George Moghalu’s leadership, who he said has the solutions to restore peace, rebuild institutions, and deliver good governance.
