The greatest talking point in our dear State, Anambra, since last month has been the resignation of Chief Dr. George Nnadubem Moghalu (Ohamadike Nnewi) from All Progressive Congress (APC) and speculations that he would seek to replace late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah’s seat at the senate or he might run for the number one political stool in the State through another political platform.
It is not surprising to us that his resignation from APC has become headline in almost all social media platforms and newspapers, it has also been a topic of discussion in different political party groups and among political elites in the state, as a big political figure in Nigeria everyone is asking questions trying to know his next political action because they know that “A toad does not run in the daytime for nothing”.
Many are suggesting that he might be moving to PDP while some mentioned LP or SDP but all are still speculations because for now he is still consulting with his people on the platform to be used in order to serve his people well because he understands that “A nyụkọ mamịrị ọnụ, ọ gba ụfụfụ”, but in all what is most important to us is that Anambrarians are happy and ever ready to throw their weight round a man who they know will come to serve with all his heart and for altruistic reasons.
Chief Dr Moghalu is not a man that just wants to grab power, and return the State to business as usual and consign it to gross backwardness and underdevelopment.
He can be trusted. You can trust him with the resources of the State; he won’t filch them. You can trust him with power; he won’t misuse it. You can trust him with the well being of the land; he cares. To him, this precious saying bequeathed to mankind holds true any day, any time: “greatest good to the greatest number of people”. Under his watch, there will be no foul play. The voices and will of the people will never be subverted. Just like the dictum of “vox populi, vox deux” says.
Putting people first is his signature tune. Hence, his message of “Anambra ga-adikwa mma ozo” which translates to making Anambra State Great Again remains a catch-phrase that rekindles hope. His coming will truly rejuvenate the civil service, health sector and overhaul the entire security architecture in the Anambra state to stem the tide of growing kidnapping and killings in the state, thereby making the people the focus of his policies. Likewise, the infrastructural upgrade of the State, human capacity development and mentoring of new leaders. In short, he is “the treasure we’ve been waiting for” as musician Simi sang in her inspiring song, “Duduke”.
With Chief Dr George Nnadubem Moghalu, a new dawn, new visitation is coming our way. We can see the Promised Land and this time nothing should stop us from stepping into it.
Now that we have seen a man who is coming to make the difference, let us stand by him and show our massive love to the man who first loved us, and is here to serve us with all that is in him.
