The incumbent governor, Prof. Charles Soludo is seeking re-election for another four years under the banner of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, and is being challenged by counterparts in 15 other political parties.

On Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Thursday, Moghalu said that Saturday’s election would create an opportunity for INEC to redeem its image.

Prof. Joash Amupitan assumed duty as INEC Chairman on 23 October and the Anambra State governorship election is his litmus test.

Moghalu said: ‘I will give INEC the benefit of doubt; it will be most unfair of me to sit down here and write them off.

‘They have the responsibility to deliver free, fair, and credible election to Anambra people. It is an opportunity for INEC to redeemn their image, do what is write and restore the confidence of the people in our election’.

When asked about his expectations of security agencies, the Labour Party candidate expressed confidence that adequate preparations had been made for the election.

He stated that trouble makers, including members of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPoB) and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), have no power to truncate the election..

The governorship candidate, however, appealed to security operatives to be professional in the discharge of their duties, as well as create an enabling environment for voters to exercise their franchise on Saturday.

‘The confidence is that the security agencies, once they become professional and do what they are expected to do, I’m certain that we have peace and a credible environment to have peace.

‘I believe also, the IPoB, ESN, or whatever they go by, they don’t have the capacity to stop our election. The point I’m making here, since I have the platform, is to appeal to the security agencies to be very professional. Do what is right, provide the security, provide the enabling environment’, he added.
