Group Hails Moghalu’s LP Candidate Confirmation as Turning Point in Anambra Political History

By Praise Chinecherem

Nnewi Youth Professional has described official confirmation of Dr. George Moghalu as Labour Party’s candidate for the Anambra Governorship Election as “a turning point in the political history of Anambra.”

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), had on Monday
confirmed Moghalu as the Labour Party’s candidate for the 2025 Anambra Governorship Election.

Reacting to the development, President of the group, Onyebuchi OkoyeOkoye urged all well-meaning Ndi Nnewi to rally behind one of their own.

“This moment is “a turning point in the political history of Anambra”. I call on all well-meaning Ndi Nnewi to rally behind one of their own.

“This is a golden opportunity that we cannot afford to miss. INEC has spoken. The era of speculation is over — George Moghalu is the candidate, and our journey to victory begins now,” he said.

Okoye emphasized the significance of the confirmation, describing it as a “clarion call” to unify around a candidate who embodies competence, character, and vision.

He described Dr. Moghalu as “a man of the people, a disciplined administrator, and a seasoned public servant who understands the real issues facing Anambra.”

“He is not just a politician. He is a principled leader, someone with deep roots in our communities, and the courage to make difficult decisions. His solutions are not theoretical — they are practical and achievable,” Okoye affirmed.

The youth leader also addressed internal party matters, stating firmly that the Labour Party in Anambra is now united and focused.

“There is no more division in the Labour Party. We are one family with one goal — to deliver good governance to Ndi Anambra.

“It’s time to mobilize from Nnewi to Awka, from Ogbaru to Orumba, and from Onitsha to Ihiala. The movement has started.”

Calling for grassroots mobilization, Okoye urged all stakeholders — from market women to youth groups, professionals to traditional leaders — to take the message of change to every ward, every village, and every home.

“Let us rise with one voice. Let us own this moment. Let us lead this movement. Dr. George Moghalu represents a new dawn. Our time is now — and history will remember those who stood up when it mattered most.”

With the political atmosphere heating up and campaigns set to kick off across the state, observers say the Labour Party — now with an undisputed candidate — may prove to be a formidable force in the coming election.

George Moghalu, a well-respected figure with decades of public service and leadership experience, is widely known for his integrity, strategic thinking, and people-centered governance philosophy.

As political drums begin to beat louder in Anambra, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: the journey toward 2025 has begun — and for many in Nnewi, the destination is Government House, Awka.
