2025: Political Earthquake: Muoghalu’s Entry Rocks Soludo, Ifeanyi Ubah, Ozigbo, others

By Tony Okafor

In a surprise move, former Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Chief George Muoghalu, has announced his intention to run in the 2025 Anambra state governorship election.

However, in a strategic twist, Muoghalu has remained tight-lipped about which political party platform he will utilize for his bid.

In an exclusive interview at his Nnewi residence, Muoghalu revealed that he is currently engaged in consultations across party lines, exploring his options and building alliances.

Contrary to recent social media speculation, he clarified that no decision has been made regarding a party switch.

Muoghalu, a former national auditor for the All Progressives Congress (APC), emphasized that if he were to defect to another party, he would do so through the proper channels, given his experience in national politics.

His cautious approach may be attributed to the bitter experience he had during the last APC governorship primary election in Anambra, where he felt shortchanged.

The former NIWA boss is renowned for his extensive experience in the public sector, having served in various capacities.
His entry into the governorship race is expected to shake up the political landscape, as he is widely respected for his administrative prowess and leadership skills.

Muoghalu’s decision to keep his party plans under wraps has sparked intense speculation among political analysts and enthusiasts. Some predict that he may be eyeing a return to the APC, while others believe he may opt for a different platform, such as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) or the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

As the political landscape in Anambra state continues to evolve, Muoghalu’s candidacy is expected to be a significant factor in the upcoming election.

Muoghalu’s reputation as a seasoned administrator and his ability to connect with diverse stakeholders may prove to be a formidable challenge to incumbent Governor Chukwuma Soludo , Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, and others in the race.

The Anambra state governorship election, slated for 2025, promises to be a highly contested and closely watched event, with Muoghalu’s entry adding an extra layer of intrigue.

As the political machinations unfold, one thing is clear: Chief George Muoghalu is a force to be reckoned with, and his decision will have far-reaching implications for the state’s political landscape.

In the coming weeks and months, political observers will be keenly watching Muoghalu’s next moves, as he navigates the complex web of party politics and alliances.

The former NIWA boss is a serious contender, and his candidacy will undoubtedly shape the trajectory of the election.

As the race for the Anambra state governorship heats up, one question remains on everyone’s lips: which party platform will Chief George Muoghalu choose, and how will this decision impact the outcome of the election? Only time will tell.

In the meantime, political stakeholders and enthusiasts alike will be keeping a close eye on Muoghalu’s every move, as the battle for the Anambra state governorship intensifies.
