365Daily – Ahead of the 2025 governorship election in the state, former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Valentine Ozigbo, has announced his resignation from the Labour Party.
Ozigbo made this known on Tuesday February 18, 2025, during a State Executive Committee meeting of the Labour Party in Awka, where he formally submitted his resignation letter to his ward chairman.
According to him, the decision was guided by his commitment to a broader vision for the state. He noted that he had informed Labour Party leader, Peter Obi, and the party’s National Chairman of his departure out of respect for their leadership.
“My unwavering commitment to the greater vision for our state guides this decision. 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,” he said.
Ozigbo, who was the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the 2021 Anambra governorship election before joining Labour Party, hinted at the formation of a new movement focused on the progress and transformation of Anambra.
“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,” he added.
While he did not immediately disclose his next political move, Ozigbo assured his supporters that his mission remained unchanged, emphasising his vision for leadership that prioritises the people.
“Our work is just beginning. The fire for a better Anambra burns stronger than ever. And together, we will rise, we will build, and we will win,” he said.
