Anambra State All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant, Mr. Valentine Ozigbo, has regretted the Supreme Court decision that affirmed Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu as the authentic candidate, saying the justices are “without conscience”.
Mr. Ozigbo made the bold challenge in a press release he issued on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, and made available to Diaspora Digital Media (DDM).
Ozigbo cried that the apex court bowed to fear, instead of to truth or justice.
In a statement entitled “Unbroken: We Will Not Bow To Darkness“, he regretted that the court denied him hearing.
According to him, the court ‘announced its verdict without listening, decided without examining, and declared without conscience’.
He stated: “I write this with a heavy yet unbroken heart.
“On Monday, under intense pressure from anti-democratic forces, our Supreme Court bowed, not to truth or justice, but to fear.
“Under the shadow of intimidation, our lawyers were silenced, and our case — a case of truth, merit, and hope — was denied a hearing.
“They announced their verdict without listening, decided without examining, and declared without conscience.”
“Deep wound to Nigeria’s democracy”
Ozigbo noted that the ruling left a deep scar on Nigeria’s democracy, saying that the ‘judiciary is captured’ by evil forces.
He stated further: “This is not just an injury to one man.
“It is a deep wound to Nigeria’s democracy — another painful reminder of a judiciary captured and in urgent need of redemption.
“I refuse to despair. Because I know something courts cannot silence — the voice of conscience, the power of faith, and the will of a people who will not bow to the darkness.
“We will not bow… will not surrender… will not let darkness write our destiny.”
The former Transcorp Hotel huncho vowed to continue to fight, hoping to be vindicated soon.
He said: “We will continue to fight — not with bitterness, but with purpose; not with violence, but with vision; not for power, but for Nigeria’s soul.
“This battle was never mine alone. It is the struggle of every Nigerian who believes that truth still matters, that light still breaks through, that our nation can still be redeemed.
“So I stand today, not defeated, but determined. God is just starting with us, and we will be vindicated soon.
“Let history record that when others chose silence, we spoke up; when others compromised, we stood.
“That in the face of injustice, we did not curse the darkness — we lit a candle.
“And as we hold that candle high, let the world see that our faith is stronger than their fear.
“We are valiant... unbroken. We are not done.”
It could be recalled that Prince Ukachukwu was declared the winner over Ozigbo during the APC primary election in Anambra State.
Ozigbo challenged the decision at the trial court, then Court of Appeal but lost.
He petitioned the apex court but got no consolation either.
