Labour Party governorship candidate in Anambra state, Dr. George Moghalu has promised to prioritize women empowerment through expansion of access to training, business support, and other opportunities.

Moghalu made the pledge during an empowerment programme of Uruagu Nnewi women, which took place at the palace of the Obi of Uruagu.

He described women as the backbone of families and the engine of community progress, arguing that no society could grow without their active involvement.

Moghalu, who also made personal donations in support of the programme, commended the women of Uruagu for their resilience, resourcefulness, and entrepreneurial spirit.

“No society can grow without the active involvement of its women. They are the backbone of families and the engine of community progress.

“As governor, I will prioritize women empowerment by expanding access to training, business support, and other opportunities that will uplift our mothers, sisters, and daughters,” he assured.

Obi of Uruagu, His Royal Highness Obi Afam Charles Obi (Ogidi IV), offered royal blessings and prayers for Moghalu’s success, assuring him of the palace’s support and affirming him as one of their own.

In a vote of thanks, Chief Agu Okonkwo praised Moghalu for his consistent identification with his people, describing the gesture as a true sign of genuine leadership.

He declared that Uruagu Nnewi is solidly behind him and will give him total support in the November 8 governorship election.

Moghalu who was warmly welcomed by the Obi’s wife, Lolo Udochukwu Obi, received an emotional reception as she led the women in embracing him as their own and a true son of the soil.

Their songs, smiles, and chants of solidarity filled the palace with excitement and pride.

The event featured distribution of empowerment items and financial support designed to help women expand their businesses, sustain their families, and acquire new skills for self-reliance.
