Moghalu expressed confident that he will win the party’s primary election and subsequently the election proper. According to him, he will consolidate on President Mohammadu Buhari’s achievements in the South East.
He admitted that the governorship election will be a tough contest, but urged all members of the party to brace up for the challenges of working for the party’s victory. He advised his co-aspirants to desist from name calling, but, to sell their ambitions by explaining to the people what they intend to do for the state if elected.
“It is instructive to state here that from past records, election in Anambra is usually won by the consensus of political elites, therefore only a person who is acceptable across various political parties stands a chance to win the coming governorship election, and because governance is a big business, therefore a person who must be governor is one who has the capacity to accommodate everybody” Moghalu stated .
Chairman of APC in the state, Chief Basil Ejidike described Muoghalu as a consistent and loyal party man, and, praised him for the support he had been giving APC in the state over the years .
