“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.”

Sources had hinted that the aspirant, who flew the flag of the PDP in the last governorship election and enjoyed the support of Mr Peter Obi, had recently lost his admiration, and feared that as the national leader of LP, Obi may not favour his candidature.

Ozigbo joined Peter Obi to Labour party in 2022, leaving his former party PDP, ans had stuck with Obi all along.
