(DDM) – In a stirring message that has drawn widespread reactions across social media, Anambra governorship hopeful, Chief Dr. George Moghalu, issued an emotional appeal to citizens of the state, urging them to unite for a total reset of governance and development.
Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) gathered that the message, posted on his official X handle, was directed to “Umu nne’m” (my people), where Moghalu described the current condition of Anambra as “hurting, wounded, and crying out for change.”
He said the state faces a “monumental task, a journey shrouded in uncertainty,” but expressed confidence that when the people of Anambra unite in voice and purpose, nothing will be beyond their reach.
According to Moghalu, Anambra’s situation requires more than political rhetoric, it demands a complete and total reset of leadership and values.
He lamented that poor governance, insecurity, and lack of infrastructure have weakened the state’s social and economic fabric, making life unbearable for many residents.
In his words, “I cannot stress enough the dire situation we are in. I implore you, let us turn the tide.”
Moghalu, a respected technocrat and former Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), has consistently presented himself as a candidate of integrity and experience.
He noted that his mission is not about political gain but about restoring hope, rebuilding trust, and repositioning Anambra on the path of growth.
“Give me the opportunity to prove my unwavering commitment, to demonstrate my deep and abiding love for our people,” he said.
He further assured the people that his intentions for Anambra are “pure,” and that he desires nothing but the best for the state.
Moghalu’s heartfelt tone and choice of words have sparked conversations online, with supporters praising his sincerity while critics questioned whether emotional appeals alone could fix years of structural failure in governance.
The phrase “Anambra is hurting” has since gone viral, trending among political discussions and youth conversations across Nnewi, Onitsha, and Awka.
Many see his message as a bold attempt to humanize the political space, offering empathy instead of the usual campaign bluster.
However, political analysts told DDM that Moghalu’s emotional rhetoric could also be interpreted as a subtle jab at current and past administrations, whom he implied failed to address the people’s pain.
In closing his message, he called on citizens to unite under a shared vision, writing in Igbo: “Bia nu ka anyi me ka Anambra di nma Ozo”, which translates to “Come, let us make Anambra great again.”
Moghalu’s post marks another defining moment in the buildup to the Anambra governorship election, with growing anticipation around whether his message of healing and unity will resonate enough to translate into electoral victory.
