Anambra 2025: LP Governorship Hopefuls Push for Consensus Ahead of 2027

In order to guarantee success in the November Anambra State gubernatorial election, Labour Party candidates have allowed for a consensus candidacy.
Both George Moghalu and John Nwosu, who hail from Nnewi town in the state’s Nnewi North Local Government Area, are vying for the Labour Party’s ticket in the election to depose Governor Chukwuma Soludo.
On New Year’s Day, Moghalu told a news conference that if he and Nwosu cannot agree on a single candidate, it will limit the opportunities for Nnewi people and result in a waste of resources for both of them.

In reality, Nwosu is my in-law, but he’s also my brother and friend. We have a positive personal relationship and nothing is set in stone. Additionally, some of our relatives are also active in the town’s politics. In order to avoid wasting time and resources, I wouldn’t rule out the prospect of us getting together and talking.

“To make the Nnewi dream a reality, we must cooperate. Meeting is not impossible; politics is about human dynamics, so I don’t mind at all. In fact, the party constitution allows for it, so we can talk to make sure everything goes smoothly,” he remarked.

According to the Nigeria Inland Waterways Authority’s (NIWA) immediate past managing director, the party’s triumph was what mattered.

We are collaborating on this because it is crucial that the Labour Party become the state’s administration.

“There is still plenty of time, so we will definitely meet. We were together in Onitsha yesterday, and we might yet come together and talk before the primary election,” he said.

Moghalu said he will provide the state with excellent leadership and criticized Governor Soludo’s leadership practices.
