Labour Party’s gubernatorial candidate in Anambra State, Dr. George Moghalu, has strongly condemned what he described as ongoing verbal attacks by Governor Charles Soludo against the party’s presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi.
Moghalu, speaking during campaign visits to Nawfija, Umunze, and Agulu in Orumba South and Anaocha local government areas, criticized Soludo for engaging in personal attacks rather than focusing on developmental issues.
“Elections should be about policies, ideas and progress, not name-calling or dragging people down,” he said.
The Labour Party candidate emphasized the importance of the upcoming November 8 gubernatorial election, describing it as a pivotal moment for Anambra’s future and the broader political aspirations of the Southeast.
“This election isn’t just about who governs Anambra for the next four years, it’s about setting the tone for the 2027 presidential race. If we truly want to see an Igbo presidency, Anambra must send a strong message by standing solidly behind Peter Obi,” Moghalu stated.
He argued that Obi, as the leading political figure from the region, needs a strong home base ahead of the next general election, stressing that the entire nation, especially Obi’s supporters, is closely watching the outcome in Anambra.
Addressing Governor Soludo’s repeated criticisms of Obi, Moghalu accused the governor of focusing more on undermining Obi than on showcasing his own achievements.
“It’s as if Soludo was appointed to pull Obi down instead of presenting his scorecard. But whether he likes it or not, Peter Obi has reawakened the political consciousness of the Igbo people and returned us to the national conversation,” Moghalu said.
Quoting scripture, he added:
“Fortune can be delayed but never denied. Power belongs to God, and He gives it to whom He pleases.”
Moghalu vowed to provide purposeful, people-centered leadership if elected, promising never to let the people of Anambra down.
“I will not pass through this generation unnoticed. I will deliver visible projects and enduring policies that history will remember.”
