Anambra guber: Like Peter Obi, OBIdient Movement endorses LP’s Moghalu

Ahead of the forthcoming gubernatorial election in Anambra, the OBIdient Movement has declared its full support for Dr George Moghalu, endorsing him as the Labour Party’s candidate for the November 8 poll.

The endorsement, made in an official statement from the movement, follows a series of meetings between Moghalu and former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, signalling that Moghalu has the full backing of the movement’s leader.

According to Yunusa Tanko, the National Coordinator of the OBIdient Movement, Moghalu is a “relentless warrior for the voiceless masses” and his candidacy aligns with the core values of the movement.

“We declare, without reservation or equivocation, our absolute and thunderous endorsement of Dr George Moghalu as the Labour Party’s gubernatorial candidate for Anambra,” Tanko stated.

Tanko expressed strong confidence that the Labour Party is “coasting to victory with a landslide” in the upcoming polls, citing the state’s large voting population of 2.8 million registered voters.

He further shared a personal observation, stating that he witnessed firsthand Moghalu’s “unapologetic commitment to empathy, accountability, and people-centred governance.”

The coordinator concluded with a rallying cry to all supporters of Mr Peter Obi.

He urged the movement’s members and Labour Party faithful to “March with Mr George Moghalu as one unbreakable army,” adding a firm message to opponents that “the tide of history is turning, and Dr Moghalu will lead us to victory.“

Meanwhile, APC governorship aspirant, Mr Valentine Ozigbo, has said that he is confident he would defeat Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo in the forthcoming Anambra governorship election if Court replaces him with Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He vowed not to relent in pursuing his mandate, claiming that even if the court ruled in his favour just two weeks to the November 8 election, he would go ahead and floor the incumbent governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo.

During an interview with media personality, Uche Nworah at Lagos airport on Tuesday, Ozigbo said: “We’re in court to challenge the candidacy of Nicholas Ukachukwu. We have been in the High Court and the Appeal Court. People tell me there is no time any longer that even if I remove him I may not have time anymore to campaign and win, but I tell them that even if it is just two weeks or one month, we will go ahead to win the election.”
