Thursday, February 20, 2025 - Erstwhile governorship aspirant of of the Labour Party in Anambra State, Mr Valentine Ozigbo has dumped the party.
Ozigbo, who is seeking to be governor of Anambra State, said he resigned
from the party in line with his unwavering commitment to the greater vision for
the state.
Though he did not disclose his next line of action, many say he is
headed to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to actualize his ambition.
In a press statement he signed, the former chief executive officer of
Transnational Corporation, also known as Transcorp said: “A few moments ago, at
a State Executive Committee meeting of the Labour Party in Awka, in Anambra
State, I formally submitted my resignation letter to my ward’s Chairman.
“Before this, His Excellency Peter Obi was duly informed of my decision
as a mark of my deep respect for his leadership and the principles we have
shared on this journey. I equally notified the National Chairman.
“At every defining moment in history, our choices shape the future we
dream of. Today, as I take a new step in my journey of service, I do so with an
unshakable resolve, a clear vision, and the unwavering belief that Anambra’s
best days are ahead of us.
“I joined politics not for personal ambition but because I believe in
the boundless potential of our people. I believe in a leadership that is
compassionate, that inspires, and that truly serves the people. That mission
has not changed; it has only become stronger.
“Recent events have made one thing clear: the time has come for us to
build something new, something bold, something that speaks to the hopes and
aspirations of every Anambra son and daughter.
“That is why, after deep reflection and broad consultations, I have
chosen to take a different path, one that is not about party lines, but about
our people. About progress. About a movement that will bring real
transformation to our great state.”
Sources had hinted that the aspirant, who flew the flag of the PDP in
the last governorship election and enjoyed the support of Mr Peter Obi, had
recently lost his admiration, and feared that as the national leader of LP, Obi
may not favour his candidature.
Ozigbo joined Peter Obi to Labour party in 2022, leaving his former
party PDP, ans had stuck with Obi all along.
