The Labour Party Governorship Candidate for the November 8 Anambra election, Dr. George Moghalu, has continued his statewide grassroots campaign, receiving an outpouring of support across Onitsha South, Odume, Enekwasipu, Awada, Igbariam, Nando, Ikem Ivite, and Anambra West.
From Enekwasipu to Odume Obosi and Awada, Moghalu was welcomed with songs, cheers, and prayers as he condemned the burden of over-taxation, infrastructural collapse, and insecurity that have plagued the state.
He vowed to end the humiliating aka-odo tax collection method, dismantle intimidation by agents of the state, and instead institutionalize modern agriculture, empower youths through skills acquisition, and reposition education to drive sustainable development.
At Odoakpu in Onitsha South, the campaign train was received by members from all the 17 wards of the local government in a carnival-like atmosphere.
The House of Assembly members representing Onitsha South 1 and 2 state constituencies, Hon. Fred Ezenwa and Hon. Jude Umennajiego openly declared their full support, describing Moghalu and Okaro as the candidate best prepared to rescue Anambra, stressing that his leadership would restore Anambra’s lost glory and enthrone good governance anchored on transparency, fairness, and accountability.
The campaign later touched down in Igbariam, Nando, and Ikem Ivite in Anambra East, before moving to Anambra West where Moghalu was received with warmth and excitement.
He assured farmers and rural dwellers of massive investments in agriculture, rural roads, irrigation, functional schools, and healthcare facilities, pledging that no community will be abandoned. He unveiled a robust social welfare plan that includes monthly allowances for citizens above 70 years, free healthcare for those above 65, and scholarships for outstanding students through a State Scholarship Board. Moghalu emphasized that Onitsha, the commercial heartbeat of Anambra, will reclaim its pride of place as a clean, organized, and economically vibrant city.
Addressing the essence of his town-to-town campaign, Moghalu explained that it was designed for direct interaction with Ndi Anambra, to better understand their aspirations and challenges. He urged the people to vote Labour Party not only to transform Anambra but also to strengthen the national movement led by H.E. Mr. Peter Obi ahead of 2027. Drawing inspiration from Governor Alex Otti’s transformation of Abia State, Moghalu promised to deliver similar people-centered reforms that would restore hope, dignity, and prosperity to Anambra.
In response, the people across Onitsha South, Enekwasipu, Awada, Igbariam, Nando, Ikem Ivite, and Anambra West pledged their total loyalty and unwavering support for his candidacy and the Labour Party.
