The immediate past Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority, Dr George Moghalu, has picked the Labour Party’s nomination and expression of interest forms for the forthcoming Nov 8,2025 governorship election in Anambra State.
The frontline aspirant reportedly procured both forms for thirty million Naira at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
Addressing journalists shortly after receiving the forms, Dr Moghalu expressed high optimism that his chances to win the party’s primary and the November 8, 2025 election are very bright.
He said that he has all that it would take to dust the incumbent governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, in the election.
According to him, “For me, it is a privilege to run on the platform of LP because one may decide to run, but the party may refuse to accept you.
“It is not just about paying for the forms but also about being accepted by the people you want to represent.
“The assurance I want to give you today is that I will not betray your confidence and trust because I am a party man. I understand the dynamics, having served in a party Secretariat.
“My loyalty to wherever I belong cannot be questioned. I have always remained in one party since the inception of this democratic dispensation.
“But had to leave for LP because, in every political consideration, two factors are always critical, -the party, and the person.
“Ambition is not war or a fight because, at the end of the day, one person will fly the party’s flag in Anambra State. It is my wish and firm belief in God that I will be that person.”
Earlier, while presenting the two forms, the party’s National Chairman -Barrister Julius Abure assured that his leadership would continue to guarantee a transparent, free, and fair primary.
He said, “I want to assure you that you have taken the right decision. The Anambra State primary will be free, fair, and credible.
“Our party members in Anambra will determine who becomes the governorship candidate.
“Abuja will not dictate who becomes the candidate. It is the people—LP members in Anambra State—who will decide. I want to urge you that while obtaining the form is a good step, you must return to engage with party members.
“We need to work to endear you to the party members, who ultimately have the power to nominate the governorship candidate. Without sounding immodest, I want to congratulate you and wish you the best of luck”, the chairman stated.
