Valentine Ozigbo, an All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship aspirant in Anambra State, has declared that the Labour Party, LP, is not what people think it is.
Ozigbo disclosed that LP is almost dying and soon people will start seeing mass defections from the party.
Featuring on Arise Television’s Morning Show, Ozigbo alleged that most elected members of LP want to seek reelection from other platforms.
He said: “I joined APC from Labour Party and I will make my case very clear, I didn’t just leave Labour Party, I made analogies of what I think about these parties in Nigeria.
“You got to do your checks and take certain decisions for posterity, for the future.
“Labour Party is not exactly what people think they are, it’s almost in its dying days and overtime, people are going to see this – how people are leaving the party.
“There is hardly any elected member of the party that I have spoken to that is intending to run for his election under the same platform, so Labour party for me is in the past.
“I took a decision to go into APC not because I’m here to justify all the actions of APC, I’m here rather as a catalyst for change, if this is the only option we have today; then some good people need to go in there and become an agent of change, I want to see myself as one of those agents and that’s why I moved.
“When I moved, it became the trending topic of the time, even up till now. For anybody to say I went into APC without supporters is very laughable. Nicholas moved into APC a month before me and nobody said anything, but since I joined, I’m already adding value to APC.
“My moving into APC changed the trajectory. There are allegations that maybe Mr. President wants Soludo to come back because he sees him as an opponent of Peter Obi.
“Even if that is correct, it’s an inferior proposition, Soludo must have gone to whoever to say APC is weak and his problem is Labour. So support me in APGA so that I will come back because you don’t want Labour to win Anambra State.
“APC is weak, Labour is strong, by me leaving Labour to join APC, it is strong today – and this is why I’m fighting this battle – if you go to the real people in APC, they will understand the battle that I’m fighting, they won’t want this type of deal where Soludo is APGA in the afternoon and APC at night.
“So he creates a confusion where you are not strengthening the party or helping anybody, so if you want to be a man, be a man and if you want to be a woman, be a woman.
“If Soludo wants to be APGA, be APGA – APGA is in the past.”
