The Labour Party’s governorship candidate in Anambra State, Dr. George Moghalu, has dismissed claims made by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) deputy governorship candidate, Dr. Ndubuisi Nwobu, who questioned the legitimacy of his candidacy ahead of the upcoming election.
In a press release issued on Monday, 29th September, 2025 and made available to PACESETTER, Dr. Moghalu’s Special Assistant on Media, Johnson Okoye, described Nwobu’s remarks as “a piece of misinformation” aimed at misleading the public.
Dr. Okoye stated that the comments were a desperate attempt to tarnish the image of Dr. Moghalu, a candidate whose credibility and popularity, he said, are already well established.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Dr. George Moghalu is the duly recognized governorship candidate of the Labour Party in Anambra State,” he affirmed.
He further clarified:
“The names of Dr. George Moghalu and Mrs. Ifeoma Okaro have been officially published by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the Labour Party’s governorship and deputy governorship candidates, in accordance with the law.
“INEC, not political jesters like Dr. Nwobu, is the only legally empowered authority to determine the legitimacy of candidates. No amount of falsehood, blackmail, or empty noise can alter that fact.”
Dr. Okoye also criticized the ADC’s campaign, describing it as lacking substance and direction.
“They have no ideas, no vision, just blackmail, slander, and cheap propaganda. This is the behavior of political apprentices, not leaders. Ndi Anambra are far too enlightened to be distracted by such antics. They can clearly distinguish between a visionary leader prepared for governance and a desperate politician chasing clout.”
He emphasized that Dr. Moghalu remains firmly on the ground, actively engaging with communities across all 179 towns in Anambra State.
“The people are embracing his message of security, good governance, and prosperity.”
Dr. Okoye concluded by challenging Dr. Nwobu and the ADC to present their own candidate’s development plan for the state, if they have one, rather than continuously attacking the Labour Party’s flagbearer.
