The Labour Party governorship candidate in Anambra State, Chief George Moghalu, has renewed his pledge to transform governance in the state if elected in the forthcoming November 8 election.
Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) gathered that Moghalu made the promise while addressing supporters during his visit to Oko, Nanka, Ufuma, and Ajalli communities in Orumba North Local Government Area.
The politician said he was deeply inspired by the people’s warmth, resilience, and shared conviction that “Anambra deserves better.”
He assured residents that his administration would focus on education, healthcare, social welfare, and security as the foundation for restoring the state’s pride and prosperity.
Moghalu vowed that under his leadership, education would be made free and compulsory from primary to secondary school, while exceptional students would benefit from state-funded scholarships to encourage academic excellence.
He further promised to introduce a robust social welfare programme for the elderly, under which citizens aged 65 years and above will enjoy free medical care, and those aged 70 and above will receive a monthly allowance to ease financial burdens.
On security, the Labour Party candidate declared that insecurity would be brought under control within three months of his assumption of office.
He also pledged that the notorious activities of local vigilante groups known as “ndi Aka Odo” would be banned within one hour of his swearing-in, a move he said would restore peace and public confidence in law enforcement.
Moghalu further criticised the burden of multiple taxation imposed on traders and artisans, describing it as an obstacle to economic growth and self-reliance.
He assured that his government would reduce taxes and levies to enable small businesses and market traders to thrive in a more enabling environment.
Calling for unity across party lines, the Labour Party flagbearer appealed to residents of Oko, Nanka, Ufuma, and Ajalli, as well as the entire people of Anambra State, to vote massively for the Labour Party in the upcoming governorship poll.
He emphasized that his campaign was driven by a vision to rebuild Anambra into a state where “governance means service, and leadership means accountability.”
Moghalu stated, “Together, we will build a state that works for all, where every community feels the impact of true leadership. Let’s make Anambra work again.”
Political observers say Moghalu’s message of grassroots empowerment, education reform, and people-centered governance has begun to resonate with voters, especially in rural communities who feel neglected by previous administrations.
The November 8 election is expected to be one of the most competitive in Anambra’s history, with the Labour Party aiming to consolidate its growing influence across Nigeria’s Southeast region.
