Why I dumped LP for APC – Obi’s ally Ozigbo

A former governorship aspirant of the Labour Party(LP) in Anambra, Valentine Ozigbo, has explained why he officially dumped the Labour Party (LP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Ozigbo, formally registered with the APC at his ward in Amesi, Aguata Local Government Area.

He said his decision was driven by his belief in progressive governance and the need to align with forward-thinking leaders.

Ozigbo was a close ally of the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, and had previously contested the 2021 Anambra governorship election under the Peoples Democratic Party but lost to the eventual winner, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
