Anambra State, Nigeria – The Labour Party proudly announces Chief Dr. George N. Moghalu as its official gubernatorial candidate for the November 2025 elections. With over two decades of unwavering public service, administrative excellence, and national influence, George Moghalu emerges not only as a candidate, but as a defining symbol of transformative leadership for Anambra State.

A Proven Legacy Since 1999

Chief George Moghalu’s political journey began at the dawn of the Fourth Republic in 1999, where he quickly distinguished himself as a visionary within the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP). As a founding member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), he later served as National Auditor, advocating internal transparency and party reform.

His appointment as the Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) in 2019 cemented his reputation as a result-oriented technocrat, transforming Nigeria’s inland maritime infrastructure, streamlining operations, and introducing private-sector partnerships to previously underutilized sectors.

Moghalu’s Network: A Bridge to Anambra’s Future

Unlike career politicians, Chief Moghalu operates at the confluence of governance, industry, and diplomacy. He commands a vast national and international network spanning government, business, traditional institutions, and the diaspora. His ability to build and sustain bridges—across ethnic, political, and ideological divides—positions him as Anambra’s foremost unifier and negotiator.

A Pedigree Built on Discipline, Education, and Service

Rooted in the industrious soil of Nnewi, Moghalu’s pedigree reflects humility, strategic thinking, and high-impact service. Academically grounded and currently pursuing legal studies and a PhD, his intellectual rigor matches his political instincts—a rare fusion necessary for leading a 21st-century state.

Economic Blueprint: A Policy Arsenal for Prosperity

Chief Moghalu’s vision for Anambra’s economic rebirth is anchored on five strategic pillars:

1. MSME Renaissance – Launching state-backed access-to-credit programs for youth, women, and creative entrepreneurs
2. Agro-Industrial Acceleration – Establishing processing hubs for cassava, rice, poultry, and palm produce, with export incentives
3. Port & Logistics Corridor – Leveraging his NIWA experience to convert Onitsha into a world-class trade gateway
4. Tourism & Culture Economy – Reviving heritage cities and supporting creative industries with investment-ready policies
5. Digital Skills & Employment – Establishing coding academies and incubation labs across all three senatorial zones

The Case for Moghalu: Why Anambra Must Choose Right

In an electoral season flooded with rhetoric and recycled ambitions, George Moghalu is the singular candidate with:

– A verifiable record of service delivery
– A respected national profile
– An inclusive, multi-sectoral development plan
– Deep connections across federal agencies and donor institutions
– An untainted reputation, trusted by the grassroots and elites alike

Publicity, Strategy, and The Future Narrative

To deliver his vision with the precision it deserves, Chief Moghalu needs a media strategy that matches his governance ambition. This is not politics as usual. This is a campaign for posterity. We stand ready to:

– Craft and execute a cross-platform narrative architecture
– Drive TV, radio, street, digital, and diaspora engagement
– Launch reputation defense, policy storytelling, and documentary-style campaign media
– Document his legacy and leadership with global PR standards

Final Word: A New Dawn Begins

Chief Dr. George Moghalu is not just a candidate. He is a bridge, a builder, and the dawn of a new beginning for Anambra. He doesn’t need to prove he can lead—his record has already written that chapter.

Now is the time to write the next one. Together.
