Chief George Moghalu, former National Auditor of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and recent Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), has announced his intention to run for the 2025 Anambra governorship under the Labour Party (LP).
Speaking to reporters in Nnewi, Moghalu pledged to serve only one term if elected, asserting that a committed governor can make a significant impact within four years.
“Anything a governor cannot achieve in four years won’t be accomplished in eight. It’s only an unprepared leader who claims to need eight years to make an impact,” he said.
Moghalu highlighted his key priority of restoring public trust in governance, noting that the greatest failure of any administration is losing the confidence of its citizens.
He also dispelled speculation about his interest in the recently vacated Anambra South senatorial seat, following the passing of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah. “I am running for governor next year, not the Senate,” he clarified.

Moghalu revealed that after consulting with his supporters, political allies, family, and friends, he officially left the APC and joined the Labour Party on October 1, 2024.
He expressed strong confidence that the LP aligns with his vision and provides the best platform for his gubernatorial campaign.
Criticizing the current administration of Governor Charles Soludo, Moghalu said, “Anambra needs urgent redemption because Soludo has failed the people. There is a severe lack of infrastructure, and the state’s security has collapsed. We cannot tolerate further failure. What he couldn’t achieve in four years, he won’t be able to accomplish in eight. You don’t need eight years to develop Anambra.”
