Obi

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, Mr Peter Obi, has called on Anambra residents and political candidates to ensure a peaceful and transparent electoral process in the November 8, 2025, governorship election in the state.

Addressing journalists at his residence in Agulu, Anaocha Local Government Area of the state, on Wednesday, Obi urged the residents to turn out in mass and exercise their democratic and civil rights.

The former Anambra governor urged political actors to respect the rule of law and prioritise the state’s peace and security, stressing that politicians must pursue their interests within the confines of the law.

He said, “My interest in this Anambra 2025 governorship election is a peaceful process before, during, and after the exercise. I want a peaceful, free and fair election. This election is for Ndi-Anambra, and anyone who wins, wins for the development of the state.

“All the contestants, including the incumbent governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu of the All Progressives Congress and my party’s candidate, Chief George Moughalu of the Labour Party, are my friends.

“But I will vote for the candidate of my party, and I urged every other voter-card-carrying resident in Anambra State to go out and vote for the candidate of their choice.” Punch
