The Labour Party Governorship Campaign train, led by former Governor of Anambra State and Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, yesterday stormed the communities of Ukpo, Nawgu, Ukwulu, Nkwelle Ezunaka, Umunya, and Ogbunike in continuation of its community-to-community campaign for the party’s Governorship Candidate, Dr. George Moghalu, and his running mate, Hon. Mrs. Ifeoma Okaro.
Speaking at Ogbunike, Mr. Obi described the town as a place of reference in Anambra State and emphasized that leadership must have a human face anchored on compassion and competence.
He said his support for Moghalu and his deputy was rooted in their integrity and capacity to serve. According to him, “When I was governor, the work I did in Ogbunike is visible and not video noise. I am supporting George Moghalu and his deputy, your daughter, because they are competent and have the compassion required for leadership.
“Please don’t sell your vote. Anyone who buys votes is doing business and will recover the money double when he gets into office. Education is the most important investment in human life, and that is what Moghalu is offering Anambra.”
In his address, Dr. George Moghalu assured the people that his administration would prioritise education by making it free and compulsory across the state. He pledged to revive the Scholarship Board to support indigent but brilliant students and to abolish excessive taxation on traders.
He further promised to tackle insecurity, end the activities of Ndi Aka Ọdọ, provide free medical care for citizens aged 65 years and above, and introduce a monthly allowance for those over 70.
“We will construct durable roads that can stand the test of time, not the type that collapse after one rainy season,” Moghalu added.
The Deputy Governorship Candidate, Hon. Mrs. Ifeoma Okaro, who received a heroic welcome in her hometown of Ogbunike, urged her people to vote massively for the Labour Party, assuring them that the incoming government would be people-oriented and transparent.
