Valentine Ozigbo Resigns from Labour Party, Teases a 'New Chapter' for Anambra
Valentine Ozigbo has officially resigned from the Labour Party, signalling a major shift in Anambra’s political landscape. However, he has yet to announce his next move, leaving speculation about his future direction.
Ozigbo made the announcement at a State Executive Committee meeting of the Labour Party in Awka, Anambra State, where he formally submitted his resignation letter to his ward chairman. He revealed that he had informed both the party’s National Chairman and former presidential candidate Peter Obi, as a gesture of respect for their leadership and shared political journey.
In a statement following his resignation, Ozigbo expressed his deep commitment to Anambra’s future, stating that his decision was driven by a “greater vision” for the state. He reaffirmed that his political journey was never about personal ambition but about unlocking the “boundless potential” of the people.
"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," Ozigbo declared, hinting at a possible new political movement.
He assured his supporters that his departure from the Labour Party was not a sign of uncertainty but a step towards “renewed strength” and “boundless possibilities”. While he did not specify his next political move, he called on his followers to "stay resolute", promising that what lies ahead is "bigger, brighter, and more powerful than anything we leave behind."
His resignation comes at a crucial time in Anambra politics, and many will be watching closely to see what his next steps will be.
