Politics is akin to football. No team manager wins by confining the best player, among his first eleven, to the substitute bench in a very crucial game. Having attained the second position in the 2017 gubernatorial election in Anambra State, APC has a good chance of winning the 2021 governorship election if Dr. George Moghalu will be supported to lead her first eleven.
It should be noted that success in any electoral contest would depend, to a large extent, on the quality of candidates chosen to fly the party's flags in the poll. Dr. George Moghalu is a man with a high level of competence, popularity, and acceptability needed to win an election in Anambra State.
Apart from Dr. George Moghalu's enormous competence and wealth of knowledge, the other justification for being party's flag bearer is that the Nnewi-born administrator, is a man of integrity with a long history of loyalty to the party and the nation.
Starting out in 1999 at the return of democratic governance in the country, Moghalu served as the National Secretary of the defunct All Peoples Party (APP), which later became All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP). He was the governorship candidate of the ANPP in the 2003 governorship election in Anambra State. As the governorship candidate of ANPP in 2003, the NIWA Boss worked hand in glove with the late Senator Chuba Okadigbo, who was the running mate to Muhammadu Buhari in the 2003 presidential election and promoted the party's public image greatly.
Thereafter, Chief Moghalu's unwavering commitment to his party remained unassailable which gave rise to ANPP joinning forces with other political parties such as Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), and Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) to form the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2015. It was at his instance as the Secretary of the merger committee, that APC was birthed. This is to say that Dr. Moghalu is not only a member of APC but also a founder. At the birth of APC, he emerged as the National Auditor of the party, a position to which he was re-elected last year shortly before his appointment as the Director General of NIWA by President Muhammadu Buhari.
It is instructive to Anambra State APC caucus and the strategic leaders in the State to embrace and acknowledge the fact that to win this election Dr. George Moghalu should lead our first eleven.
If APC Anambra chapter is devoted to ousting APGA in Agu Awka in this 2021 governorship election, they should put forward Chief Dr. George Moghalu as its candidate.
