The political aide to Mr Valentine Chinedu Ozigbo, the PDP flag-bearer in the 2021 Anambra governorship election, Nze Gabriel Afamefuna Okpalauzuegbu, has assured the people Anambra State of better administration under his principal after the November 2025 guber polls.
Responding to questions on happenings in the State, in a chat with journalist and media consultant ANDREW UDEH, last Sunday at Amawbia, Anambra capital territory, Okpalauzuegbu, who reviewed the security situation the State, said: “The truth is that Valentine Ozigbo is a different person from what uninformed people are thinking about.
“He is not only intelligently good at tackling sensitive issues like security, but also well experienced in peace-building processes, which would enable him to quickly calm down the existing tension in the State on assumption of office.
“He has the formula and solution to quench the storm – remember that we are talking about the former Chief Executive of Transcorp Corporation, Abuja, an institution with a global image and reach.
“We are also talking about a man who has empowered so many people in Nigeria today, a smart leader with the capacity to change the political narrative for people to enjoy. He is equally vibrant and blessed with rich, innovative skill, one whose administration will certainly gladden the hearts of Anambra people.”
Declaring the forthcoming primary election in the Labour Party, the platform whose flag Ozigbo hopes to fly this time around, as a foregone conclusion, Okpalauzuegbu maintained that Ozigbo remains the politician to beat among other contestants.
“It is well known that Valentine Ozigbo had been in the Labour Party well before most of the other guber aspirants on the platform of the party,” Okpalauzuegbu pointed out. “He has been a close ally of Gregory Peter Obi since the last presidential election. He even followed him to tour the country attending political meetings with the world leaders. Such political exposure has given him an edge over other aspirants.
“Besides, from every indication, Ozigbo is the right man to occupy the governorship seat, because of his dynamic approach. To me, the contest is between him and others.”
According to Okpalauzuegbu, Ozigbo, a corporate business guru, “is prepared to build an egalitarian society, a new Anambra State with proper administration, an organized place with modern facilities and infrastructure for people to thrive.”
