He urged the electorate to take the money but make informed decisions at the polls, as their votes represent their power to shape the future.

Moghalu further discussed the trend of politicians defecting from one party to another, describing it as detrimental to the development of a stable political ideology. He noted that political parties should serve as platforms for ideological growth rather than mere vehicles for personal ambitions.

In conclusion, Moghalu maintained that his faith in God remains his strongest network and that his vision for Anambra is centered on good governance, credible leadership, and the protection of lives and property.
