As Gov Soludo Welcomes Moghalu with Warm Gesture at Public Event
In a lighthearted moment at a recent event, Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo, spotted Labour Party governorship candidate, Dr. George Moghalu, in the audience. Soludo, known for his wit, took the opportunity to welcome Moghalu to the stage, saying, “My brother, you’re welcome. I heard you’re contesting for something, but it seems like there’s something you’re shying away from.”
The crowd erupted in laughter as Soludo continued, “Forget it, we know ourselves. After you finish your ‘rigmarole,’ you can come to me; we’re both brothers.” The comment was met with applause and chuckles from the audience.
What followed was even more telling of their relationship. After stepping down from the podium, Soludo walked over to Moghalu, and the two shared a warm moment, laughing and shaking hands. A photo of the encounter has since circulated, showcasing the cordial relationship between the two figures.
The exchange has sparked interest in the dynamics between Soludo and Moghalu, particularly given their political affiliations. While Soludo’s comments seemed lighthearted, they may also hint at a deeper connection or understanding between the two leaders.

Governor Wike is accusing Sarham of running a massive oil theft in the state as well as sending troops to assassinate him on the 15 of February 2019.
Jamil Sarham, general officer commanding 6 division of the Nigerian army, has said Nyesom Wike Offered him billions of Naira in bribe to compromise the governorship elections in the state.
Aminu Iliyasu, the division’s spokesman, Sarham said governor Wike decided to witch hunt him when he turned down the offer.
Governor Wike is accusing Sarham of of running a massive oil theft in the state as well as sending troops to assassinate him on the 15 of Febuary 2019.
Denying the allegations, Sarham said: “Wike’s resentment against me is based on my choice of professionalism and integrity over the billions of naira offered me by the Rivers state governor to compromise the 2019 general election,” the statement read.
“My refusal to be bought over and the rejection of the hefty offer is the genesis of Wike’s hatred and vociferous criticisms of me.
“On the mischievous accusation against Maj. Gen. Sarham of leaking proceedings of State Security Council meetings to criminals in Rivers State, Mr. Wike knows well that Maj.-Gen. Sarham is not a member of the Rivers State Security Council, neither has he ever approached the gates of Rivers State Government House, since his assumption of office as the GOC, 6 Division.
“Mr. Wike only came face-to-face with Maj. Gen. Sarham on the 15th of January, 2019, during the 2019 Armed Forces Remembrance Day parade at Isaac Boro Park, Port Harcourt.
“The Nigerian Army wishes to challenge Wike to provide the public with any evidence of such meetings, with Maj. Gen. Sarham in attendance. Wike’s allegation against Maj.-Gen. Sarham’s selfish involvement in illegal oil bunkering is another reckless, spurious and mischievous accusation.
“Hence, Headquarters of 6 Division wishes to request the Rivers governor to take the most civilised way of putting up a petition to the relevant authorities, to make a point.”
