Labour Party Governorship Aspirant in the November 8, 2025 election in Anambra State, Chief George Moghalu, has marshalled out things he would do differently to ensure better governance in the State.
Moghalu, a frontline contender in the upcoming election while addressing newsmen in Nnewi said his administration would give priority to security of lives and property as one of the factors that would usher in sustainable development in Anambra.
He disclosed that he would overhaul the security architecture in Anambra, to come up with a better arrangement in line with the situation on ground, adding that the current security challenge in the State called for concern.
His words: “Part of the measures I will adopt to checkmate insecurity in the State is to reorganize the local vigilance groups, train them on intelligence gathering, fire arms handling and other vital areas necessary. That will be done without compromise and there should be insurance scheme put in place for the operatives.
“Better remuneration will also be put in place for the group to make it attractive, so that graduates can be interested in the service. We have enough military and paramilitary personnel in the state to assist in the training of the operatives.
“We will also encourage the communities to be proactive on the issue of security and other allied matters. The truth is that the leadership of every community knows the bad eggs among themselves.
We will encourage the communities to be part of the efforts to secure their environment by strengthening the vigilance groups.
