The Labour Party Governorship Candidate, Dr. George Moghalu, on Wednesday continued his community-to-community campaign tour with visits to Umuoba Anam, Aguleri, and Enugwu-Aguleri in Anambra East Local Government Area.
He was warmly received by stakeholders, party members, and enthusiastic supporters, as he sought their prayers, partnership, and votes ahead of the November 8 election.
In his address, Dr. Moghalu lamented the dwindling confidence of the people in government, stressing that insecurity, the controversial aka-odo taxation system, and poor leadership have crippled investment and development in Anambra. He insisted that people would willingly pay taxes only when they see sincerity and fairness in governance.
“Anambra is not where it ought to be because government has failed to secure lives and property. Leadership must show transparency, justice, and compassion. That is the Labour Party’s vision, and that is what I stand for,” he affirmed.
Dr. Muoghalu recalled the era of former Governor Peter Obi when elders enjoyed stipends and access to free healthcare, noting that governance must return to policies that directly improve lives. He urged the people to place their trust in him, promising to lead with accountability and compassion.
“Give me your confidence, place your trust in me, and I will come back here to say thank you. My prayer is that you all live long to witness the new Anambra we will build together,” Moghalu pledged.
Earlier in the day, Dr. Moghalu paid homage to traditional rulers, including HRM Dr. Michael C. Idigo, Igwe of Aguleri; HRM Eze Chukwuemeka Eri of Iduu Eri Kingdom; and HRM Igwe George Obalim Ekwealor (KSJI), Igwe of Umuoba Anam Kingdom. The royal fathers, impressed by his humility, offered prayers and blessings for his success.
They commended him for being the first candidate to visit their palaces and urged him to remain steadfast, declaring: “Let the will of God be done. That is what Anambra needs. When the right things are done, peace and progress will follow.”
