Anambra Guber: “You Stood by Us, Now We Stand by You” – Disabled Persons Endorse Moghalu for Governor

The Alliance of Disabled People (ADP) in Anambra State has endorsed Chief Dr. George Moghalu, Labour Party’s candidate in the upcoming November 8 governorship election. The endorsement was delivered during a solidarity visit to Moghalu’s campaign office in Udoka Housing Estate, Awka, where leaders and members of the group declared their support.

Speaking on behalf of ADP, the coordinator, Comrade Mike Nwakakwa, and secretary, Hon. Joseph Okafor, revealed that the decision followed a statewide consultation held on June 12. They cited Dr. Moghalu’s compassion, consistent advocacy, and track record of supporting persons with disabilities as key reasons behind their endorsement. The group pledged to mobilize voters across all local government areas to support his candidacy, stating, “You have always stood by us. Now we are standing by you.”

In his response, Dr. Moghalu expressed deep appreciation for the endorsement and emphasized the value of their support. “You may be physically challenged, but you are not limited in spirit. We are partners in this journey,” he said. He pledged to ensure full inclusion of persons with disabilities within his campaign team and promised that members of the ADP would take on roles in grassroots mobilization.

Moghalu reaffirmed his commitment to disability rights, promising to establish a Special Disability Fund, enforce accessibility in public infrastructure, and introduce targeted skill acquisition programs. “This endorsement will not be hidden. I am proud to associate with you, and we will walk this path together,” he concluded.

The endorsement adds to Moghalu’s growing grassroots support as his campaign continues to gain momentum.
