Anambra 2015: I 'll defeat incumbent governor - LP candidate

Labour Party governorship flag bearer in November 8, 2025 gubernatorial election in Anambra state, Dr George Moghalu, has described those peddling the rumours of his party's collapse to African Democratic Congress, ADC, as cowards, being threatened by LP's strength and popularity in the state.

Moghalu, also clarified that the coalition is restricted and remained only in 2027 general elections and not the governorship election that is coming up in Anambra State.

The LP flag bearer spoke in Awka at the official inauguration of the George Moghalu / Ifeoma Okaro Campaign Council Organization.

According to the former Managing Director of National Inland Waterways Authority, NIWA, “there is no iota of truth in the rumour. It is being circulated by those threatened by the strength, popularity and acceptability of LP in Anambra state.”

"When the propaganda first started that our leader, Peter Obi, has left Labour Party, he refuted it, assuring he will campaign for the party. He even promised to be present during our Friday campaign rally in Onitsha.

"The coalition is only in 2027 general elections. The rumour peddlers are afraid and looking for where to hang their jackets. And that is how to know parties with unpopular candidates."

While inaugurating the campaign council, Moghalu thanked members for agreeing to work with him, stressing that to whom much is given, much is expected. 

“This election is not a tea party. It is not a game you play carrying snuff in your hands. Removing an incumbent, even the game we have now is not an easy task. 

"Some said it is impossible, but I said it is possible because it has happened before. Incumbents have been defeated both in this state and outside the state.

"But we must understand that elections are won at the polling units and not at the state capital. And that is where our capacity will be tested. 

"The enormity of the challenge is not what we take for granted. I am happy you have accepted to work with me, not for me as critical stakeholders.

"It require unity, commitment and dedication so we can wrestle power from the incumbent. There are enough to gain if we win and there are all to lose if we lose. We will all be beneficiaries if we win."
