(DDM) – Chief George Moghalu, a leading Labour Party figure in Anambra State, has outlined a sweeping package of promises under what he described as the Recovery Agenda during his visit to Omasi community in Anyamelum Local Government Area.
Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) gathered that Moghalu, accompanied by his deputy governorship candidate, the Director General of the Moghalu/Okaro campaign organisation, and other key team members, used the occasion to take Labour Party’s message directly to agrarian families who form a major part of the state’s rural economy.
Addressing the Omasi people, Moghalu declared that his administration, if elected, would prioritize social welfare and grassroots development through people-centred policies.
He announced that free, compulsory, and quality education would be provided to children from nursery to secondary school across Anambra State.
According to him, this initiative would guarantee a foundation for the younger generation, removing the financial burdens that often discourage poor families from sending their children to school.
He further promised that elders aged 65 years and above would have free access to public hospitals across the state.
In his words, the health of senior citizens must not be compromised due to economic hardship, and his government would ensure they enjoy adequate medical care without financial barriers.
In addition, Moghalu pledged that citizens above 70 years of age would receive stipends from the state government.
He stressed that this welfare package was necessary to provide a measure of financial support and dignity for the elderly, many of whom had served their communities and families tirelessly.
He assured the people that his administration would remain people-oriented, pointing out that Labour Party’s philosophy is grounded in service to the masses.
Moghalu referenced the example of Abia State, where Labour Party’s leadership has been celebrated for implementing citizen-focused reforms and policies.
He noted that the same standard of governance would be replicated in Anambra under his leadership.
Moghalu concluded his address with a firm declaration that he would “change the narrative” in Anambra politics by shifting focus away from self-serving leadership to inclusive governance that uplifts the poor and marginalized.
Background checks show that George Moghalu, a seasoned politician with roots in the All Progressives Congress (APC) before his alignment with Labour Party, has long been active in Anambra politics.
His recent move to align with the Labour Party reflects the rising popularity of the party in the Southeast, following its strong performance in the 2023 elections, particularly among young voters seeking reformist leaders.
Labour Party’s message of equity, accountability, and grassroots development continues to resonate strongly in agrarian communities like Omasi, where decades of political neglect and underdevelopment have left residents yearning for a government that prioritizes their needs.
Political observers believe that Moghalu’s promises, especially on free education and healthcare, are targeted at addressing deep socio-economic inequalities that have persisted in Anambra.
However, analysts also note that the feasibility of funding such extensive welfare programmes will remain a subject of debate until detailed policy frameworks are unveiled.
For many in Omasi, the visit symbolized recognition of their struggles and hopes for inclusive governance.
As campaigns heat up, Moghalu’s Recovery Agenda is likely to dominate conversations across Anambra, particularly among families and senior citizens who stand to benefit most directly.
By pledging to change the narrative, Moghalu has placed himself in the centre of the Labour Party’s reformist agenda, setting the stage for what could become one of the most competitive governorship races in Anambra’s recent history.
