A Labour Party chieftain and a governorship aspirant of the party in the Anambra state governorship election, Valentine Ozigbo has dumped the party.
Ozigbo, an ally of the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, also contested the state governorship election in 2021 under the Peoples Democratic Party.
Although he did not disclose his next line of action, he said he resigned from the party in line with his unwavering commitment to the greater vision for the state.
In a press statement signed by him on Wednesday, Ozigbo said Obi was duly informed of his decision as a mark of his deep respect for his leadership and the principles they have shared on this journey.
Ozigbo tweeted:
“My Dear Ndi Anambra,
“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.
“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.
“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!
