The Labour Party’s community-to-community campaign train, led by presidential candidate Peter Obi, governorship hopeful Dr. George Moghalu, his running mate Hon. Ifeoma Okaro, and Awka North and South lawmaker Prof. Oby Orogbu, took its message of renewal to Achalla, Okpuno, Nibo, Amawbia, and Ifite-Awka.
They were warmly received with cheers and royal blessings by traditional rulers, including HRM Igwe Ositadinma Nwokedi of Achalla and HRH Eze Ugonwanne, Dr. Sir M.C. Ngene (JP), the Ezeike IV of Nibo.
Moghalu decried the poor state of infrastructure in Awka North, describing it as “a scandal and a product of failed leadership.” He said, “Awka North receives over ₦300 million monthly, yet there’s nothing to show for it. Don’t sell your future for peanuts—reject bad leadership and vote for the Labour Party.”
Prof. Orogbu, who has attracted several constituency projects to the area—including classroom reconstruction, health centre renovation, and solar-powered streetlights—also lamented government neglect. “They’ll soon return to ask for your votes. What have they done for Achalla? Our people deserve better, and that’s what the Labour Party represents,” she said.
The team later joined her to commission the renovated Community Primary School, Okpuno. Large crowds thronged the campaign stops in Mbaukwu, Nibo, Amawbia, and Ifite, pledging support for the Labour Party.
Obi, addressing supporters, emphasized that true leadership must be driven by humility, compassion, and service. He hailed Moghalu’s competence and integrity, expressing confidence in his capacity to “restore purposeful governance in Anambra.”
“The Labour Party stands for hope, accountability, and people-centered governance that delivers real development,” Obi said.
