The Former National Auditor of the All Progressives Congress APC,
Chief George Moghalu has declared his ambition for the 2025 governorship election in Anambra State under the platform of the Labour Party (LP).
Chief George disclosed this while briefing Journalists at his home in Nnewi on 5th of Oct, Saturday, in reaction to speculation that he will contest the senatorial election to fill the vacancy in Anambra South Senatorial District following the demise of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah. But he insisted that he had no such ambition.
Moghalu said that he is contesting the position to address insecurity, unemployment and other socio-economic challenges currently facing the state under governor Chukwuma Soludo administration, noting that the governor has failed the people, hence the need to vote him out in next year’s governorship election.
According to George,: “I will be contesting for governor next year 2025 and not Senate. I recently resigned from APC, and on October 1, I joined Labour Party.
“While I did so, I consulted my wife and children, my campaign organization, and I was convinced that Labour Party is the party that aligns with my person and the best suited platform to realize my ambition.
“We need to redeem Anambra fast because Soludo has failed the people. There is dearth of infrastructure in the state, security has collapsed.
“We will not tolerate him further. What he could not do in four years, he will never be able to do it in eight years. You don’t need eight years to develop Anambra.”
The Immediate past Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), acknowledged that there is a zoning arrangement in the state, and that Anambra South, where he and Soludo hail from, is favoured for the contest.
He vowed to do only one term of four years.if he wins the election so as to complete the turn of Anambra South, before the position moves to Anambra Central Senatorial District.
On why he left APC, which is the ruling party at the centre, where the Federal Government may likely work in his favour, he insisted that every politics is local, and that it would be the decision of Anambra people to vote any party, and not for the Federal Government to choose for the people.
He promised to bring governance more closer to the grassroot and the people of Anambra State.
