Peter Obi Leads Moghalu Campaign To Ukpo, Nawgu, Ukwulu, Nkwelle Ezunaka, Umunya, Ogbunike

The Labour Party (LP) governorship campaign train, led by former governor of Anambra State and presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, yesterday stormed the communities of Ukpo, Nawgu, Ukwulu, Nkwelle Ezunaka, Umunya, and Ogbunike.

The move was in continuation of its community-to-community campaign for the party’s governorship candidate, Dr. George Moghalu, and his running mate, Hon. Mrs. Ifeoma Okaro.

Speaking at Ogbunike, Mr. Obi described the town as a place of reference in Anambra State.

He emphasized that leadership must have a human face anchored on compassion and competence.

He said his support for Moghalu and his deputy was rooted in their integrity and capacity to serve.

He said: “When I was governor, the work I did in Ogbunike is visible and not video noise.

“I am supporting George Moghalu and his deputy, your daughter, because they are competent and have the compassion required for leadership.

“Please don’t sell your vote. Anyone who buys votes is doing business and will recover the money double when he gets into office.

“Education is the most important investment in human life, and that is what Moghalu is offering Anambra.”

The campaign team also paid courtesy visits to traditional rulers in the area, where they received royal blessings and counsel.

Those visited include His Royal Majesty, Igwe Sir. George E. Okaa Onwuogu (KSM), HRM Igwe Ezeike of Ukwulu Kingdom, HRM Igwe Sir Obiora Anachuna, Igwe Orazulunye Nkwelle Ezunaka, and HRH Igwe (Dr.) Robert Eze, Okofia VI of Ukpo.

Free and compulsory education

In his address, Dr. Moghalu assured the people that his administration would prioritise education by making it free and compulsory across the state.

He pledged to revive the Scholarship Board to support indigent but brilliant students and to abolish excessive taxation on traders.

He further promised to tackle insecurity, end the activities of Ndi Aka Ọdọ, and provide free medical care for citizens aged 65 years and above.

Moghalu also pledged to introduce a monthly allowance for those over 70.

“We will construct durable roads that can stand the test of time, not the type that collapse after one rainy season,” Moghalu added.

Meanwhile, the deputy governorship candidate, Hon. Mrs. Ifeoma Okaro, received a heroic welcome in her hometown of Ogbunike.

Hon. Okaro urged her people to vote massively for the Labour Party come election day on November 8, 2025.

She assured them that the incoming government would be people-oriented and transparent.

Also present was Hon. Uche Okafor (Wiper), former Transition Committee Chairman of Oyi Local Government.

Hon. Okafor called for unity and total support for the Labour Party candidates.
