The George Moghalu Campaign Organization has taken note of Governor Charles Soludo’s recent comments on zoning in relation to the 2025 governorship election. While every citizen has the right to participate in the democratic process, we owe it to ourselves and to Ndi Anambra to speak the truth plainly.
Let us recall that Governor Soludo contested the governorship in 2003 under the PDP, and again in 2013 under APGA. On neither occasion did he show regard for any zoning agreement. Zoning was never part of his political vocabulary when it did not serve his interest. But now that the tide has turned, he suddenly clings to it for political survival. Ndi Anambra are watching and they are wiser now.
However, we must remind our people that zoning is to Anambra South, not to Soludo. It is a call for equity and balance, not a personal entitlement. Anambra South still has four more years to provide leadership for the state, and it must be based on competence, capacity, and performance, not recycled promises and political self-preservation.
We must also remember that the Constitution provides every elected governor with a four-year mandate. A second term is not an entitlement. It must be earned. It must be justified with visible achievements, not empty slogans.
Has Governor Soludo delivered on the bold promises he made? Where is the African Dubai-Taiwan he proudly proclaimed? What tangible improvements can the people see? Are there new schools, hospitals, roads, or infrastructure projects to point to? Is Anambra more secure today than it was yesterday?
Across the state, our traders are burdened by suffocating and excessive taxation. Many face daily harassment from government agents, especially the infamous ndi Aka Ọdọ, whose intimidation tactics have created an atmosphere of fear and frustration. The realities on the streets sharply contradict the narratives from government press briefings.
In contrast, Dr. George Moghalu is not coming to sell dreams. He offers Ndi Anambra a tested and trusted alternative. A proud son of Nnewi North in Anambra South, he believes in equity and has already pledged to serve a single term. To him, governance is a relay. If a serious leader cannot deliver in four years, they cannot deliver in eight.
It is time for Ndi Anambra to stand firm and insist that eight years is not an entitlement. It is not automatic. It is a privilege reserved only for governors who deliver on their promises, who perform, and who earn the people’s trust through results, not propaganda. Governance is not about occupying office. It is about impact. If you have not delivered in four years, you do not deserve four more.
Dr. Moghalu comes prepared with a master plan that will fundamentally transform governance in Anambra. His vision is clear, practical, and people-driven, not built on soundbites or borrowed metaphors. He offers leadership that delivers, not leadership that distracts.
The Labour Party has the answer to the challenges facing Anambra. Our national leader, His Excellency Peter Obi, and His Excellency Alex Otti, the performing governor of Abia State, have already set the pace. Their results speak for themselves. Dr. George Moghalu is ready to replicate that standard of responsible, people-first governance here in Anambra.
Ndi Anambra are awake. They have grown tired of sweet talk and deception. They will not be swayed by high-sounding grammar, abstract theories, or recycled slogans like “nke a bụ nke anyị.”
This election is not about oratory. It is about results. Ndi Anambra will judge by performance, by integrity, and by vision. And come 2025, they will choose progress, not excuses.
