The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), has come hard on Labour Party, chieftain, Mr Valentine Ozigbo, for rating Governor Charles Soludo low in his past two years as governor of Anambra State.
The Eastern Updates had earlier reported that Ozigbo had, while speaking with journalists over the weekend, declared he was unimpressed with Soludo’s performance and had decided to contest the 2025 governorship election in Anambra, to replace him.
However, unsatisfied with the assertion, APGA reacted to this saying that Ozigbo is simply looking for an alibi to declare his intention to run for governorship, so as to rake in donations for his campaign.
The Media and Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr Ejimofor Opara, who spoke with newsmen said: “He wants to deceive people and get donations from people for his campaign. That is if he is able to emerge as the candidate in his party because he may not.
“Ozigbo is just being mischievous. He said he is unimpressed, but failed to say what he would have done differently. What would he have done differently in Okpoko where Soludo has changed the fortune of the people in that area, what would he have done differently in Ekwulobia, or in the road revolution that Soludo is working on?

“He didn’t say any of that, he just ended up by saying that he is unimpressed. He is suffering from a midlife crisis and should focus on being busy. He is simply desperate to be governor. Life is difficult for the blind, and I pity him for not being able to see all that Soludo is doing.”
Speaking on Ozigbo’s promise of doing one term of four years, Opara said: “I wonder if he thinks Anambra people are gullible or dumb heads to believe that a politician will come and say he will do one term.
“Besides, you can only change a government that is not performing. And for the record, that his statement about Soludo not performing is an alibi he is throwing up, so that he can have a basis to contest, but this is the same Soludo that Anambra people said is performing wonderfully well.”
He said the only thing to Ozigbo’s political career is that he is Peter Obi’s Man Friday.
