Former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr Val Ozigbo has said he will contest the 2025 gubernatorial election in Anambra State.
Ozigbo, who held an interactive meeting with journalists in Anambra on Saturday, said he waited to assess Governor Chukwuma Soludo after two years in office, before deciding whether he will run or not. He said after two years, he is not impressed with Soludo's achievements, saying that because of that, he has decided that he will run. He said he will run for just one term in office to complete the zoning arrangement which favours the Southern Senatorial Zone where he and Soludo comes from.
'We need to change the narrative and look for a way to survive. We must fight to rescue Anambra. I'm a non-transactional politician. I have several things I can do, but my worry is how we can recover the state and put her on the path of development. 'Zoning is a good thing. But it must be combined with competence to make sense. Don't pick a renegade just because he is from a certain zone, and don't pick the best, when you know you can pick one that is better.
