Valentine Ozigbo, a frontline contender for the Anambra State governorship, has officially joined the All Progressive Congress (APC) barely 24 hours after resigning from the Labour Party.
According to sources, Ozigbo’s decision was formalized when members of the APC in Amesi Ward, Aguata Local Government Area, visited his home. He was warmly received by party executives and stakeholders at the ward and local government levels.
Ozigbo, a respected business leader and 2021 Anambra Governorship Candidate, outlined his vision for a brighter and better Anambra State, emphasizing his commitment to transformational leadership, economic development, and people-centered governance. He also pledged to contribute significantly to the growth and success of the APC in the state.
The Amesi Ward Chairman of the APC, Mr. Chidi Johnpaul Muokwe, welcomed Ozigbo to the party, describing him as “the light in the darkness” that Anambra needs. Chief Godson C. Anyadike, speaking on behalf of the party executives in Aguata LGA, expressed delight at receiving such a prestigious personality and pledged cooperation and support in the coming months.
Ozigbo’s move is seen as a significant development in the Anambra State governorship race, and his decision to join the APC is expected to have far-reaching implications for the state’s political landscape.
