Managing Director of National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) and governorship aspirant in the forthcoming Anambra state gubernatorial election Dr George Moghalu has said that his main mission is to restore the people’s confidence in governance.
Moghalu disclosed this in Lokoja while speaking with newsmen at a symposium to mark the 46th birthday anniversary of Gov. Yahaya Bello of Kogi state.
The governorship aspirant said that one of the major challenges leading to dearth of development advancement in the country was that there had been a disconnect between the people and the government.
“So, my mission mainly, is to restore confidence, restore the people’s confidence in their government before you talk of infrastructural development.
“The people will be willing to work with the government once their confidence is restored in the government. It is about engagement.
“When people see your honesty, your commitment, your dedication there’s no way they won’t listen to you. Issues of insecurity, insurgence and what have you are issues that will also attract my immediate concern”, he said.
On his chances in coming APC governorship primaries in Anambra, Moghalu said, “I have offered myself and I know that I have what it takes.
“For me, I believe very strongly that power belongs to God and he gives to who He pleases at His own time. I’m confident that by the grace of God, I will make it.
Moghalu attributed the ills of the society to failing family values and parental upbringing saying that as a country and as a people, “We must look at our values to see where we got it wrong.
“We must develop a system where we look at our values. Our family values. We must accept the right values and reject the wrong values” he said.
