COVID-19: Valentine Ozigbo Calls For Immediate Ban On Interstate ...

An aspirant in the forthcoming gubernatorial election in Anambra State, Mr Valentine Ozigbo, says as the governorship election in Anambra State draws near, ndi Anambra should take time to elect the right candidate who would build on the legacies of past leaders from the State who had made indelible mark on the state’s and nation’s political history.

Addressing members of the Rebuild Nigeria Initiative in Awkuzu, Oyi Council Area, Ozigbo said Nigeria’s former President, the late Chief Nnamdi Azikiwe, and former Governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi, really made the State proud, expressing certainty that such good times could be re-enacted if focused leadership was enthroned again in the state.

Ozigbo, who thanked the group for its contributions to grassroots development of politics in the state, said he drew his inspiration from the exemplary leadership of two leaders; Nnamdi Azikiwe and Michael Okpara, who, he said, massively transformed the fortunes of Igbo Land during their times.

He said both leaders made the Igbo race the envy of the world, attributing their achievements to great leadership skills, which, he said, could be surpassed in the present circumstances given that technology and knowledge had advanced.

In the contemporary political leadership of Anambra State, Ozigbo specifically mentioned the giant strides of former Governor, Peter Obi, noting that Obi’s efforts in education, healthcare, and infrastructural development, engendered the social and economic transformation of Anambra State.

The governorship aspirant described Obi as a prudent leader who did tremendously well in office, as well as saved for the future generation of the state.

Mr. Ozigbo promised to partner with all stakeholders, including former leaders and the Rebuild Nigeria Initiative, in his bid to re-build the state. He gave the assurance that Anambra State would be in good hands under his watch if voted into office.

The leader of the group and former Anambra State Chairman of the PDP, Chief Frank Oramulu, commended Ozigbo for having the interest of the State at heart and seeking the opportunity to return the state to the days of good governance.

For his part, Hon Tim Egboka expressed the hope that Ozigbo would be the one to reinstate the state as the Light of The Nation.

Hon. Valentine Ayika, who accompanied Ozigbo to the event, described the aspirant as a man of peace, excellence, and humility, and enjoined the people of Anambra not to engage in politics of blackmail, propaganda, and acrimony.
