All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in Anambra state Valentine Ozigbo, says he is the only politician capable of defeating Chukwuma Soludo.
Ozigbo spoke on Sunday in a chat with Rudolf Okonkwo on 90MinutesAfrica.
Val Ozigbo defected to Labour Party ahead of the 2023 presidential election before quitting the party to join APC in February.
Ozigbo Claims “real politicians in the Anambra state know that I am the only one with the capacity to defeat Governor Soludo”.
“I’ve never done anything in politics until 2021 when I contested the governorship election against Soludo, who was funded by the then incumbent governor, and Andy Uba, who had federal support as the APC candidate,” he said.
“Despite all the odds, I came second in that election ahead of the APC candidate.
“I also showed purpose in 2023. Without any prompting, I followed and supported Peter Obi. When Soludo was criticizing and throwing stones at his presidential ambition, I was supporting him actively.”
The 2025 Anambra governorship election is billed to be held in November 2025.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said political parties must hold primaries for the 2025 elections between March 20 and April 10.
