Anambra State governorship aspirant, Valentine Chineto Ozigbo

Anambra State governorship aspirant, Mr. Valentine Chineto Ozigbo, a seasoned ally of Mr. Peter Obi,‬⁩ has explained what informed his decision to resign from Labour Party (LP).

Mr. Ozigbo made the clarification during an X (Twitter) Space session on February 19, 2025, wherein he featured as one of the speakers.

Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) had reportedly earlier that he confirmed his resignation to the medium today.

Citing “recent events”, Ozigbo said ‘the time has come for Anambra residents to build something new, something bold, something that speaks to the hopes and aspirations of Anambra sons and daughters.

He, however, did not indicate whether the recent events had to do with the state or with Labour Party.

Expatiating on what he earlier said during the Twitter Space, Ozigbo posted on his handle, @valentineozigbo, in a piece entitled “A new chapter: a bold step for Anambra’s future“:

“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.

“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.

“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.

“Let me be clear: This is not a moment of uncertainty.

“It is a moment of celebration. A moment of renewed strength. And a moment of boundless possibilities.

“To those who believe in this vision, stand firm. To those who have walked this journey with me, stay resolute.

“Because what lies ahead is bigger, brighter, and more powerful than anything we leave behind.

“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.

“This is our moment. Ka Anambra Chawapu!”

Ozigbo concluded with his signature hashtags: #KaAnambraChawapu2025 #VCOCares #MakaOdimmaAnambra

Ozigbo the politician

Upon retirement as the MD/CEO of Transcorp Hotel, the Amesi-born technocrat joined politics.

Ozigbo, it could be recalled, contested the 2011 Anambra State governorship election.

He contested on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and was the first runner-up.
