Anambra Guber: Massive Crowd Defies Rain At Nnewi As Obi, Moghalu Vow To Reclaim Anambra For The People
DDM News

(DDM) – That the Labour Party’s governorship campaign in Anambra State reached a major turning point on Friday, October 31, as its 2023 presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, joined the party’s governorship flagbearer, Dr. George Moghalu (Ohamadike Nnewi), for a historic rally in Nnewi.
The event, held at the DCC Field, drew a massive crowd of enthusiastic supporters who defied heavy rainfall to express their unwavering loyalty to the Labour Party and its vision of reclaiming Anambra for the people.
In his address, Mr. Peter Obi praised the resilience and passion of the crowd, describing their turnout as “a powerful expression of hope, courage, and faith in a new Anambra.”
“What I have seen here today gives me absolute confidence that victory is certain,” Obi declared, to thunderous applause. “Labour is not just a political party; it is a movement built on integrity, accountability, and service.
Ndi Anambra have spoken loudly with their presence here today.”
According to DDM correspondents at the venue, the rally ground was electrified with chants of “Labour! Labour!! Labour!!!” as supporters waved party flags and sang solidarity songs, despite the rain that drenched the field.
Addressing the crowd, Dr. George Moghalu expressed optimism that the Labour Party would achieve a landslide victory in the November 8 governorship election, noting that the people’s enthusiasm reflected their desire for a fresh start.
“Labour will win convincingly,” Moghalu said. “You can feel the heartbeat of the people, their passion, their readiness for a government that works for everyone. Labour is not just a political structure; it is a people’s revolution.”
He described the warm reception he and Obi received earlier in Nnewi’s major markets, including Nkwo Nnewi and Nnewi Triangle, as a testament to the trust and confidence the people have in the Labour message.
Reacting to the heightened campaign activities of the incumbent governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, Dr. Moghalu criticized what he termed “political panic and desperation.”
“Talk is cheap,” he said. “Soludo is running up and down because he knows the people have turned against him. I thought he said he was not contesting with anybody, so why the sudden restlessness?”
The Labour Party candidate, however, emphasized that power belongs to God, stressing that the will of Ndi Anambra would prevail at the polls.
“God gives power to whom He pleases,” Moghalu continued. “And on election day, He will speak through the votes of Ndi Anambra.
No amount of intimidation, propaganda, or vote-buying will stop the people’s mandate.”
He urged supporters to remain peaceful, vigilant, and determined, while encouraging them to turn out in large numbers, cast their votes, and defend them until the final count.
As the rally came to a close, the atmosphere turned jubilant, with chants of “Ohamadike! Ohamadike!! Ohamadike!!!” echoing through the Nnewi night sky, accompanied by drumming, singing, and fireworks.
Local observers told DDM that the Labour Party rally has shifted the political momentum significantly in the Orumba and Nnewi axis, previously considered strongholds of the ruling APGA.
Political analysts believe that the presence of Peter Obi, whose grassroots influence remains strong across Anambra, could give the Labour Party a decisive edge in the upcoming election.
The rally ended with Moghalu reaffirming his commitment to restoring transparency, education, healthcare, and security in the state.
He declared, “We will rebuild Anambra together. The time to reclaim our destiny is now. The people have suffered enough, and the Labour Party is ready to give Anambra back to its true owners, the people.”
With only nine days to the November 8 election, the Nnewi rally has set the tone for what many describe as the most people-driven campaign in Anambra’s political history.
DELTA – The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is set to unveil its new Coalition Vehicle in Delta State this weekend.
Delta State, located in the southern region of Nigeria, is a fascinating and culturally rich area known for its diverse ethnic composition, breathtaking natural landscapes, and vibrant economic activities.
It is bordered by Edo State to the north, Anambra State to the east, and the Bight of Benin to the west, and the Atlantic Ocean to the south.
This state is renowned for its oil and gas reserves, contributing significantly to Nigeria’s overall revenue.
The capital city, Asaba, serves as the political and administrative hub, while Warri stands out as the commercial nerve center of the state.
Delta State is home to various ethnic groups, including the Urhobo, Isoko, Ijaw, Itsekiri, and Anioma people, each bringing their unique cultural heritage, traditions, and festivals to the vibrant tapestry of the region.
Visitors to Delta State can experience a blend of urban and rural life, enjoy traditional music, art, and delicious cuisine, while also engaging in exciting outdoor activities like exploring the inner riverine areas filled with stunning wildlife and lush greenery.
Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) notes that the event is expected to draw political leaders, stakeholders, and supporters from across Nigeria.
The launch aims to unite reform-minded leaders, youth movements, and grassroots organizations under one platform for inclusive governance and participatory democracy.
Organizers confirmed that several top national figures, including former governors, party chieftains, and youth leaders, will be present at the official unveiling.
The event is being described as a pivotal moment for ADC, signaling the party’s intention to consolidate support ahead of future elections.
The coalition is designed to serve as a people-driven force, providing a political vehicle for collaboration among reformist groups and leaders nationwide.
ADC’s call to action, themed “A–D–C Arise”, has gained traction on social media, trending across multiple platforms in anticipation of the weekend event.
Supporters are encouraged to participate both physically in Delta State and digitally, using hashtags #CoalitionVehicle and #ADCArise to show solidarity.
Political analysts say the unveiling could strengthen the party’s visibility and attract alliances with smaller parties and civil society organizations ahead of the 2027 general elections.
ADC leadership has emphasized that the coalition is not limited to party loyalists but is open to all reform-oriented Nigerians committed to democratic principles.
The party has also highlighted that the event will feature interactive sessions, discussions on governance reforms, and strategies to mobilize youth engagement in politics.
Observers expect that the Delta launch will serve as a blueprint for similar coalition-building exercises in other states, amplifying ADC’s national footprint.
The ADC leadership reiterated that the Coalition Vehicle is a platform for collaboration, dialogue, and actionable political engagement, aiming to address pressing issues affecting Nigerians at the grassroots level.
(DDM) – The Obidient Movement has announced that its official Situation Room for the Anambra 2025 Gubernatorial Election is live today, Saturday, November 8, 2025, at 8 a.m.
The Obedient Movement, often seen as a significant social and cultural wave, represents a burgeoning collective of individuals unified by a shared vision of civic responsibility and active participation in societal development.
This movement, characterized by its emphasis on adherence to ethical principles and accountability, encourages its members to engage in community activities and political processes with the goal of fostering positive change.
Through their unwavering commitment to these ideals, participants aim to build a more harmonious and equitable society that values integrity, transparency, and collaborative progress.
Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) notes that the broadcast is streaming across all major social media platforms, with the movement providing real-time updates, field reports, and verified election analyses from its statewide monitoring network.
According to a statement signed by Dr. Yunusa Tanko, spokesperson of the Obidient Movement Worldwide, the Situation Room was set up to promote transparency, accountability, and credible reporting throughout today’s election process.
The Obidient Situation Room will feature live updates from polling units, on-ground observer reports, and analyses of voter turnout, vote counting, and conduct of officials.
It also aims to counter fake news, promote peaceful participation, and encourage citizens to protect their votes.
Dr. Tanko urged all supporters and members of the Obidient family to join the live broadcast and share updates widely across social media.
He emphasized that the Obidient Movement remains committed to safeguarding democracy through citizen participation, vigilance, and integrity.
“The election is in the hands of Anambarians,” Dr. Tanko said. “It is your choice who governs you. A New Nigeria is Possible.”
The Obidient Movement, which rose to prominence during the 2023 general elections, has maintained its influence through civic engagement, digital mobilization, and grassroots organization across Nigeria.
Analysts believe today’s live Situation Room represents a bold step in leveraging technology to promote electoral transparency and citizen oversight during the governorship election.
Thousands of Nigerians both at home and in the diaspora are expected to tune in as the Obidient Movement delivers verified, on-the-ground updates from polling centers across Anambra State.
DDM will provide continuous live reports and verified developments from the Obidient Situation Room as today’s election unfolds across Anambra.
At this point, it is believed that most voters in Anambra State have made up their minds as the election is set to take place across the 326 wards in the state.
As has been consistently emphasized, our choice at the polls will shape the future of Anambra State over the next four years.
A mistake in our voting could regress our state even further than the challenges we currently face under the administration of Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo.

Anambra State African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate, John Chuma Nwosu, and Deputy governorship candidate, Geoffrey Ndubisi Nwobu
Above all, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has not only shown a strong commitment to the holistic development of our state but has also laid out a clear blueprint for their administration, titled “SHEEMS.”
Ndi Anambra, Mr. John Chuma Nwosu and Dr. Geoffrey Ndubisi Nwobu are not strangers to us when it comes to administration and public service.
Both have significantly elevated the roles they have previously held and have positively impacted the lives of many (the evidence is clear).
Let’s give ADC a chance tomorrow!
As for me and my family, we will be voting for the African Democratic Congress (ADC).John Nwosu
