…Reiterates Moghalu’s capability if elected governor
The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, Mr. Peter Obi, the Governorship Candidate of LP, Dr. George Moghalu, and the Member representing Awka North and South Federal Constituency, Prof. Oby Orogbu, paid homage to His Royal Majesty, Igwe Ositadinma Nwokedi, Uthoko n’Eze Achalla, in continuation of their community-to-community campaign tour.
The royal father warmly received the delegation, offered prayers for their success, and commended their humility and commitment to reconnecting leadership with the grassroots.
Addressing the monarch and his cabinet, Dr. George Moghalu decried the deplorable state of roads and infrastructure in Achalla and across Awka North, describing it as a product of neglect and failed leadership.
“We are at a critical point in our state’s history. The roads in Achalla are scandalous, and no government has any justification to abandon this community despite the huge allocations from the federal government. Awka North receives billions monthly, yet there is nothing to show for it. No road here lasts even one season; the leadership has failed our people,” Moghalu lamented.
Prof. Oby Orogbu, who spoke with emotion, condemned the total absence of government presence in Achalla despite its status as the headquarters of Awka North Local Government Area.
She listed some of the projects she personally attracted to the area, including the ongoing reconstruction of Community Secondary School, Achalla, the supply of learning materials to public schools, installation of solar-powered streetlights, and renovation of rural health centres.
“It pains me deeply that Achalla has been abandoned by successive governments. Our people deserve schools, roads, and healthcare that work,” she said.
In his remarks, Mr. Peter Obi emphasized that leadership is about humility, compassion, and service to humanity. He expressed confidence in Dr. Moghalu’s integrity, character, and capacity to restore purposeful governance in Anambra State.
“We are supporting a man who has what it takes to rebuild Anambra, a man of character, compassion, and competence,” Obi said.
The visit, which exposed the poor condition of the roads leading to Achalla, including the route to the Igwe’s palace, underscored the Labour Party’s determination to deliver responsible leadership and infrastructural renewal across the state.
MOGHALU VOWS TO RECONSTRUCT NKPOR ROADS AND RESTORE GOVERNMENT PRESENCE
The Labour Party Governorship Candidate, Dr. George Moghalu (Ohamadike Nnewi), on Monday led his community-to-community campaign tour to United Primary School, Nkpor, in Idemili North Local Government Area, where he was received by a massive crowd of enthusiastic supporters who expressed frustration over years of neglect, poor infrastructure, and lack of government presence in their community.
Residents lamented that since after the administration of Dr. Chris Ngige, Nkpor has not witnessed any major road construction or government project, describing the situation as disheartening and unacceptable.
Addressing the gathering, the Labour Party Deputy Governorship Candidate urged the people, especially women, to rise and defend their political future. She said, “Women are game changers. Don’t sell your votes—save your future. Anambra ga adi mma ozo (Anambra will be better again). Vote for the Labour Party and let God use us to rebuild our dear state,” a message that resonated strongly with the crowd.
In his address, Dr. George Moghalu condemned the state of neglect in Nkpor, describing it as “a sad reflection of failed leadership,” and vowed to change the story. He promised that under his administration, Nkpor and other communities across Anambra would experience genuine transformation through the reconstruction of all access roads, improved infrastructure, and renewed government presence.
He said, “It is painful that a commercial hub like Nkpor has been abandoned for years. Under my watch, that will end. We will open new roads, light up our streets, empower our youths and women, and restore the dignity of our people. Every part of Anambra will feel the presence of government.”
Moghalu reaffirmed his commitment to honesty, discipline, and service, assuring that his administration will prioritize people over politics.
“We will not leave Nkpor behind. Ndi Aka Odo will go, and hope will return to our people. My covenant with Ndi Anambra is to serve, not to rule. Together, we will rebuild this state and make Anambra a shining model of good governance in Nigeria,” he declared to thunderous applause.
