Mr. Valentine Ozigbo, the Peoples Democratic Party's candidate for governor in the 2021 Anambra State governorship election, has pledged to remove Prof. Chukwuma Soludo in the state's 2025 governorship election. 

Ozigbo, who is currently running for governor of Anambra State as a candidate for the Labour Party, made these remarks  after receiving over 300 Afam Ogene, a member of the House of Representatives representing the Ogbaru Federal Constituency, and other party leaders as they welcomed them into the Labour Party. 

APGA candidate Pius for the Ogbaru 1 Constituency of the Anambra State House of Assembly led the defectors, who were primarily members of the APGA in the Ogbaru Local Government Area, into the Labour Party in the general elections of 2023.

Among the defectors were former local government chairmen, ward chairmen, women leaders and critical stakeholders in Ogbaru Local Government Area.

Ozigbo, while receiving the defectors expressed optimism that the rate at which members of other political parties in the state were defecting to the LP would guarantee the party’s successes in the future elections at local, state and national levels.

He charged the new entrants to convinced members of other political parties in their various wards to join the Labour Party, which is the “moving train.”

He said, “I am happy to witness what is going on today. You have made a fantastic decision that will help to ensure that LP produces the next Anambra State governor. I have asked Ndi Anambra and the verdict is that the governor (Soludo) is not doing well. So, we are using this point to say that he must vacate the Government House in 2025.

“Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s time is up. He cannot come back for a second term because he has disappointed Ndi Anambra. It is now left for the Labour Party to take over.
