Frontline politician, Chief George Muoghalu has joined prominent citizens across the World in mourning the death of Pope Francis who died in the early hours of Easter Monday.
In his condolence message, he said: “It is with a heavy heart and profound sorrow that I, Chief Dr. George Moghalu, the Labour Party Governorship Candidate for the November 8th, 2025 gubernatorial election in Anambra State, join the global community in mourning the death of His Holiness, Pope Francis.”
The message was signed Dr. Ikenna Agu, Media Adviser to Moghalu on Monday.
According to the politician, “Pope Francis was not only the spiritual leader of over a billion Catholics worldwide, but also a moral compass whose humility, compassion, and unwavering commitment to peace, justice, and service touched lives across faiths, continents, and generations.
“His papacy redefined leadership in the Catholic Church, breaking barriers and building bridges through love, inclusion, and charity.
” In Anambra, a land deeply rooted in Catholic tradition and values, Pope Francis was a beacon of inspiration to millions. His teachings ignited hope in the hearts of the poor, the marginalized, and the broken.
“His life was a testament to the power of kindness, simplicity, and fearless advocacy for the voiceless.”
Muoghalu who is a front line candidate for the forthcoming gubernatorial election went further to declare that: “While we mourn this monumental loss, we also celebrate a life well lived — a life that challenged us to be better humans, to walk in the light of truth, and to carry the burdens of others with dignity and faith.
” On behalf of my family, my campaign Council and the good people of Anambra State, I extend deepest condolences to the Vatican, the global Catholic community, and every soul touched by the extraordinary ministry of Pope Francis.
“The world has lost a shepherd, a peacemaker, and a rare symbol of divine humanity. Though his voice is now silent, his legacy will echo forever in our hearts.
“May his soul find eternal rest in the loving arms of our Lord”, Muoghalu said.
