Valentine Ozigbo, a leading aspirant for the 2025 Anambra State governorship election, has made a strong case for his candidacy at a town hall meeting with All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders in Awka.
Speaking to a gathering of party faithful, including grassroots mobilizers, youth groups, and community influencers, Ozigbo emphasized the need for the party to make the right choice to dislodge the incumbent All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) government led by Governor Chukwuma Soludo.
“The extent we want to go, Anambra must be the first among all the states of Nigeria. We must move at a faster pace, not one where we are looking for approval, so every door we knock is immediately opened,” Ozigbo declared.
Ozigbo also shared his vision for the state, which includes building thriving public infrastructures and creating jobs for young people. “My vision for Anambra is clear: A state where our markets thrive, our roads work, our young people have jobs, and no mother goes to bed worried about the safety of her children. That is the Anambra we will build – together.”
The town hall meeting was part of Ozigbo’s efforts to rally the party and secure the APC ticket ahead of the November 2025 election.
Notable APC leaders and dignitaries attended the event, including Chief Mrs. Callista Nwachukwu, the State APC Treasurer; Mrs. Rita Echedom, the State APC Deputy State Woman Leader; Hon. Ekene Okafor, the APC State Welfare; APC LG Chairmen and Executive Committee members of Anambra Central Senatorial Zone.
Other top dignitaries who attended the event included Chief Chidi Ogbaji, Chairman of VCO Advisory Council; Chief Dr. Tony Offiah, a member of the VCO Advisory Council; Chief Chike Nwaiwu, a member of the VCO Advisory Council; and Barr. Cosmas Anyabolu, among others.
The event signalled the end of Ozigbo’s special town hall engagements with stakeholders from the three senatorial zones in the state. Similar meetings were held in Anambra South and North on Thursday and Friday, respectively
