Moghalu Calls For Partnership With The Church

…Promises to end illegal taxes as he seeks the support of Onitsha Sports Club

The Labour Party Governorship Candidate, Dr. George Moghalu, on Sunday worshipped at St. Andrews Cathedral Methodist Church of Nigeria, Awada, where he sought the prayers and support of the Church in the task of rebuilding Anambra. He reminded the congregation that only God can perfect the efforts of man, stressing that governance without divine guidance will always fall short.

This is also as the former NIWA Boss promised to end illegal taxes during an interaction with the members of Onitsha Sports Club to seek their support to his governorship ambition.

Speaking with deep concern, Moghalu declared that Anambra is at a critical crossroads.

“In governance, you only give what you have. Our state is overwhelmed by insecurity, agriculture has collapsed, and education is lagging behind. WAEC has announced computer-based exams, yet we have no functional e-schools in Anambra. These issues must be urgently addressed if we are to secure a better future for our children,” he lamented.

He appealed to the clergy and faithful to journey with him through prayers and partnership, assuring them of a people-centered government if elected.

“Men of God, I cannot do it alone. Pray for me, let us walk this path together. I give you my assurance that I will not fail you, and I will not fail God. Unless the Lord builds the house, the efforts of man are in vain,” Moghalu affirmed.

Rt. Rev. E. C. Nnaji (Bishop of Nnewi Diocese), Rt. Rev. M. O. Nwakama (Bishop of Awka Diocese), and His Grace, Most Rev. Dr. V. C. E. Onoh (Bishop of Onitsha and Archbishop of Anambra Diocese), prayed for him, commending his sincerity and courage.

They wished him well in his governorship journey and declared that “the will of God be done in Anambra State.”

ONITSHA WILL WITNESS END OF TOUTS AND ILLEGAL TAX UNDER MY WATCH – MOGHALU

Speaking during his visit to the club, Moghalu thanked the leadership for the opportunity, noting that Onitsha remains the political and economic hub of Anambra. He stressed that his campaign is built on experience, vision, and a commitment to restore sanity to governance.

Addressing the gathering, Moghalu lamented the worsening insecurity and the stifling atmosphere created by multiple taxation and harassment of traders by touts popularly called Agbero. He vowed that under his administration, insecurity would be decisively tackled through strengthened community policing, technology-driven security systems, and effective collaboration with security agencies.

“We cannot continue like this. Investors have abandoned Anambra because they fear for their safety. I will make Anambra a safe haven again,” he assured.

On the issue of revenue collection, Moghalu promised to completely abolish the activities of illegal tax collectors and touts who harass traders and transporters on the roads. He maintained that his government would introduce a transparent, digitalized tax system that ensures fairness, protects businesses, and promotes investment.

“I will end the reign of Agbero and illegal levies that suffocate our traders. Under my watch, revenue will go to government coffers, not into private pockets,” he declared to loud applause.

The President of Onitsha Sports Club, Chief Daniel Olisa Okafor, and business icon, Chief Godwin Ubaka Okeke, founder of GUO Motors, were among the dignitaries present.

Moghalu appealed for their advice, support, and partnership, pledging that his government will prioritize security, economic revival, and a business-friendly environment where hardworking Anambra people can thrive without fear or extortion.
