Ahead the November 8 Anambra State governorship election, the guber aspiration of Mr Val Ozigbo of Labour Party (LP) has received a boost as Idemili Progressive Eligible Voters (IPEV) endorsed his candidature.
The group made the endorsement during their meeting which held at Odume Obosi in Idemili North LGA of Anambra State.
The grassroot community based civil society (IPEV) comprised eligible voters in both Idemili North and South LGAs of the state.
In his speech, the Convener of the group, Comr. C.C. Emereonwu said that the stage is set for another governorship election and that Anambra must get it right this time around.
“We have carefully look at all the personalities or individuals who have shown interest in the race, Chief Valentine Ozigbo, who took second position in the last governorship election behind the incumbent Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo is the most qualified.
“Ozigbo is the best alternative, the current administration in the state has failed and cannot be re-elected come November 2025, today, in our high strategic meeting here in Odume Obosi, after all consideration and looking at the current leadership failure in the state Anambra, we have officially and openly endorsed the personality, Chief Valentine Ozigbo, for the Anambra governorship coming up on November this year 2025.
“We will support Ozigbo, he has all it take to lead the state and unanimously as eligible voters in both Idemili North and South, we have endorsed him perhaps we are calling on our people in Idemili here and across Anambra State to support the Nigerian business leader and multiple award-winning global CEO, Chief Valentine Ozigbo,” he said.
The civil group which was established in 2018 has coordinators who are coordinating their affairs at Idemili North and Idemili South LGAs while the Convener, Comr. C.C. Emereonwu supervise the activities of the two coordinators in both local governments.
