An aspirant under the platform of Labour Party (LP) in the November 8, 2025 governorship election in Anambra State, Chief George Moghalu has marshaled out things he would do differently to ensure better governance in the State.
Moghalu, a frontline contender in the upcoming guber election while addressing newsmen in Nnewi said his administration would give priority to security of lives and property as one of the factors that would usher in sustainable development in Anambra.
He disclosed that he would overhaul the security architecture in Anambra to come up with a better arrangement in line with the situation on ground, adding that the current security challenge in the State called for concern.
“Part of the measures I will adopt to checkmate insecurity in the State is to reorganize the local vigilance groups, train them on intelligence gathering, fire arms handling and other vital areas necessary. That will be done without compromise and there should be insurance scheme put in place for the operatives.
“Better remuneration will also be put in place for the group to make it attractive, so that graduates can be interested in the service. We have enough military and paramilitary personnel in the State to assist in the training of the operatives.
“We will also encourage the communities to be pro-active on the issue of security and other allied matters. The truth is that the leadership of every community knows the bad eggs among themselves. We will encourage the communities to be part of the efforts to secure their environment by strengthening the vigilance groups.
“Traditional institutions would be encouraged and strengthened under my watch as Anambra State Governor.
“At the moment, the State government takes all the money that belongs to the local government areas, so how do we expect the Council Chairmen to perform their civic responsibilities to their different Council Areas especially in area of security?
“Security is technologically-driven all over the world. Under my watch as the Governor of Anambra State, our dear State would not be left behind, I believe that no amount is too much to be invested in the security of lives and property.
“Organizing investment summit without effective security arrangements is a complete waste of time and resources because the targeted investors will not take their investment to insecure environment. Adequate security must be in place for such moves to work.
“These are parts of what I would do differently as Governor of Anambra State, if the people of the State decide to engage me as their Governor. There is nothing bad in putting CCTV cameras at strategic points on the roads across the state,” he explained.
On the continued detention of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu which is said to have been responsible for ceaseless security challenges in the S/East, Chief Moghalu appealed to the Federal Government to adopt a political solution to Kanu’s issue and get him released.
“I have prayed and begged for the release of Kanu. Political solution will be the most appropriate measure. There is so much anger in the polity, killing ourselves just to make a point, this is not acceptable, ”Chief Moghalu appealed.
He said he has been receiving positive responses to go ahead in his governorship ambition after wide consultations.
While commenting on a purported endorsement of a particular aspirant by the Obidients group, Moghalu said that he was not bothered about that. He disclosed that the same group and other groups had also come to him for the same endorsement.
“Honestly, I am not bothered about that issue of endorsement. Let all the groups endorse a person but let me run and win the party primary and the November 8 governorship election.
“Endorsement can only make meaning if you win the election,” Chief Moghalu submitted.
