Reacting to the outcome of the election in Anambra state, Moghalu, in a statement which was obtained by The Eastern Updates on Thursday, applauded the people of Anambra State for having spoken with one voice, which all political players must respect, in favour of Soludo and APGA for the governorship seat.
He further expressed total confidence that Soludo will work hard and productively for the Anambra people, wishing him a successful tenure in office.
According to the ex-Presidential candidate, ‘It is no surprise: Anambra has consistently voted APGA for the leadership of the state, even as it has voted more independently for national elective offices’.
