The governorship candidate of Labour Party in Anambra State, Dr George Moghalu has said that the leader of the party and presidential candidate in the last general election, Mr Peter Obi is solidly committed to his election.
Moghalu was reacting to seeming confusion over the stand of Mr Peter Obi in the forthcoming governorship election, as some people see him as aligning with African Democratic Congress (ADC) candidate, Mr John Nwosu.
The candidate who spoke to journalist also Decries the politics of gossip where the governor has been casting aspersions on some candidates on their educational qualifications, eliciting reactions from some of them.
He said: “There is no confusion about where our leader, Mr Peter Obi stands in this election. He has said it many times that he is fully involved in the November 8 governorship election as a member of Labour Party and has also said he will work for me.
“Mr Peter Obi has publicly stated that he has confidence in my capability as a candidate, and that he is sure I will perform. He is working for me and there is no doubt about that.
“Also, the entire Obidient family worldwide has made a press release, asking all members to support me and those who can not come to Anambra to support with their votes should pray for me.”
On the recent altercation between the governor of the state, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, his wife and the candidate of APC, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu and his running mate, Senator Uche Ekwunife, Moghalu said it has lowered the bar of governance.
“Some people have been wanting me to speak about the virtuperations that are coming out of Anambra State. I believe there are many things to be talked about and we should not belittled our selves, or involve in many things and cast aspersions on people. At our level, we should be civil.
“We should be able to see things that are not working well in government and speak about them, or we should rather market yourselves. You are dealing with people, so tell them what you can do to make the society a better place instead of discussing things that are very embarrassing.
“Talking about sex and educational qualifications brings down the bar of governance. If you think the government has not done enough, then you should say how you will do it,” Moghalu challenged
