Candidate of Labour Party in the forthcoming November gubernatorial election in Anambra State, Dr George Moghalu has hailed the unwavering commitment and resilience of the state’s workforce, assuring that their dedication to uplift the state will not go unrewarded.
In a solidarity message he sent to the Anambra State workers in particular and Nigerian workers in general, to mark the May Day events, Moghalu acknowledged the place of the worker in the effort to build a viral State and the nation which he said cannot be ignored.
Moghalu who flies the banner of Labour Party in the state said that since his vision is inexorably tied to the values of the Labour movement, his possible emergence at the governorship poll in November would benefit the workers.
He affirmed his determination, if elected, to give live to the ideal that drive the labour movement chief of which is equity, justice, and prosperity for all.
The message signed by Ikenna Agụ, Moghalu’s Media Adviser reads in part.
“The Workers’ Day celebration is not just a date on the calendar; it is a powerful symbol of the resilience, fortitude, and unwavering spirit of our workforce. Across every sector — public and private, formal and informal — Nigerian workers remain the lifeblood of our nation’s progress. You are the engine that powers our industries, the hands that till our fields, the minds that drive innovation, and the hearts that keep hope alive in our communities.
“In Anambra State, the story is no different. Our civil servants, artisans, traders, teachers, farmers, healthcare professionals, transport workers, and countless others contribute daily to building a state we can all be proud of. Your labour continues to enrich our economy and lay the foundations for a more just and prosperous future.
“As a Labour Party candidate, my vision is deeply rooted in the values that this day embodies — dignity in labour, equity, justice, and prosperity for all. The Labour Party was founded to protect the rights of workers and ensure that the fruits of their labour are not only recognized but fairly rewarded.
“I reaffirm my commitment to these ideals and assure you that, under my watch, the welfare of workers will not only be prioritized but institutionalized.
“If elected as Governor of Anambra State, I pledge to champion a government that listens to its workforce, engages meaningfully with labour unions, ensures timely payment of salaries and pensions, promotes workplace safety, provides opportunities for skill development, and builds an enabling environment for entrepreneurship and job creation.
” I envision a public service that is efficient, respected, and motivated — where merit is rewarded and where every worker feels a sense of pride in their contribution.
“To all Nigerian workers, especially those in Anambra State, I say: your labour is not in vain. Your sacrifices are not unnoticed. And your voices will be heard. Let us continue to work together to build a future where the dignity of labour is upheld, and every worker can dream, strive, and thrive.
“On this Workers’ Day, I celebrate you. I honour your strength. I applaud your courage. And I renew my commitment to stand with you, walk with you, and work for you.”
