Valentine Ozigbo, the governorship aspirant of the Labour Party in Anambra State has dumped the party.

Ozigbo in a statement said he resigned his membership of the Labour Party in line with his commitment to the greater vision for the state.

While he didn't disclose his next line of action, there are speculations that he could be headed to the All Progressives Congress (APC) to actualize his ambition to be governor.

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.”

Ozigbo joined Peter Obi in the Labour Party in 2022.
