Peter Obi, the Labour Party's (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, has officially presented Dr. George Moghalu as the party's flagbearer for the November 8, 2025, Anambra State governorship election.
The presentation took place on Friday, during the party's campaign flag-off in Onitsha. Obi officially kicked off the campaign for Dr. Moghalu's governorship bid, signaling the start of the party's efforts in Anambra State.
During the event, Obi reaffirmed his intention to run for the presidency again in 2027, stating that he remains the most credible option among those who have shown interest.
“Let me remind you that I am contesting for President in 2027, and I am serious about it,” Obi declared. “Everyone has the right to contest, but none of them has better credentials than I do. I have the backing of senators, representatives, and others who believe in my vision.”
On the Anambra governorship race, Obi called on the people to rally behind Dr. Moghalu, whom he described as capable, compassionate, and ready to deliver good governance to the state.
“Governance for me is about empathy and compassion, about caring for the poor and petty traders — the same people the government taxes,” Obi said. “Dr. Moghalu is prepared to govern with those values in mind. I urge you to support him.”
He also debunked reports that he had defected from the Labour Party to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), clarifying that the coalition with ADC was solely for the 2027 general election.
“I remain a Labour Partymember, as are all our members at both state and national levels. We are here today for this symbolic flag-off of the campaign for our LP flagbearer, Dr. George Moghalu,” he stated.
In a strong endorsement of the LP deputy governorship candidate, Obi said Mrs. Ifeoma Okaro was chosen to reflect the party’s desire to uplift families and include women in leadership.
“She is not only popular but organized,” he added. “We believe her presence will further enhance our commitment to caring for families.”
