The Labour Party (LP) candidate ahead of the November 8, 2025 governorship election in Anambra State, Dr. George Moghalu, has dismissed speculations of the party collapsing into the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition, describing the narrative as a desperate propaganda being spread by opponents frightened by the LP’s growing popularity and momentum in the state.
Speaking during the official inauguration of the George Moghalu/Ifeoma Okaro Campaign Council held at Jesse Hotel & Suites, Awka, on Tuesday, Dr. Moghalu made it clear that any such coalition with ADC is only relevant to the 2027 general elections, not the upcoming Anambra governorship contest.
“There’s no iota of truth in the rumour,” Moghalu said. “It’s being circulated by those threatened by the strength, popularity, and growing acceptability of the Labour Party in Anambra.
When the propaganda first started that our leader, Mr. Peter Obi, had left the Labour Party, he publicly debunked it. He reaffirmed his commitment to the party and even promised to attend our campaign rally this Friday in Onitsha.”
While inaugurating the campaign council, Moghalu charged the members to brace up for the task ahead, reminding them that the battle to unseat an incumbent is not an easy one.
“This election is not a tea party,” he stressed. “It’s not a game you play with snuff in your hands. Removing an incumbent even the weak one we currently have is never easy. But it is possible. It has happened before, both here in Anambra and in other states.
We must never forget that elections are won at the polling units, not at the state capital. That’s where our strength will be tested. I’m grateful you’ve chosen to work with me not for me as stakeholders in this movement.
We must be united, committed, and fully dedicated. There’s much to gain if we win and everything to lose if we don’t.”
The Director General of the Campaign Organisation, Chief Okey Chukwuogo, expressed confidence that with unity and focus, Dr. Moghalu’s emergence as governor is within reach.
Also speaking, LP State Chairman, Hon. Ugochukwu Emeh, affirmed the party’s preparedness for victory.
“The people selected into this council may not be the best on paper, but they were chosen based on capacity and proven track records.
Our candidate is spiritually, physically, and financially ready. There’s no room for excuses or bitterness. Just deliver. In this mission, there’s no provision for second place.”
With the campaign officially launched and momentum building, all eyes now turn to Onitsha, where Mr. Peter Obi is expected to rally the party faithful ahead of the decisive November 8 governorship election.
