Anambra State Labour Party governorship aspirant, Valentine Ozigbo, has advised the citizens of the state against returning Governor Chukwuma Soludo come 2025 election.
Valentine Ozigbo said Governor Soludo would destabilize the state if given a second chance. He decried the security situation in the state, stating that the citizens of the state live in constant fear.
Ozigbo alleged that Soludo was using the state’s House of Assembly to enact laws that would cripple the opposition in the coming local government elections.
In a statement, on Saturday, on his X handle, the former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate advised Labour Party to remain steadfast and field candidates in the council elections.
Ozigbo said, “In his characteristic manner of positioning himself as “the wisest in the room,” Governor Soludo hastily orchestrated and pressured the State House of Assembly into amending the Anambra Electoral Act. This move is designed to facilitate his planned rigging and impose his loyalists on Ndi Anambra in his flawed re-election bid.
“While this illegal act is bound to be fruitless, we must not fall into the trap of boycotting the so-called election. Instead, we will seize every opportunity to show him that Ndi Anambra is weary of waiting for the promised Dubai and Taiwan. Worse still, we can’t even visit home, and those who at home live in constant fear! The entire economy of Ndi Anambra has been crippled, leaving our people to struggle in poverty.
“I have suggested to the leadership of our party and some of our elected members that we should present candidates to our people who possess the capacity, character, and compassion to bring about positive and impactful change at the grassroots level. This is without prejudice to the need to challenge some obnoxious provisions of the amended act that contradict national laws and common sense.
“The Governor does not deserve another chance, and we will continue to counter his nefarious schemes at every turn.”
