2023: Former PDP governoship candidate dumps Atiku for Peter Obi

Valentine Ozigbo, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2021 Anambra governorship election, says he has resigned his membership of the party.

He attributed his decision to resign from the party to the need to ensure that at “this precarious time in Nigeria’s history a competent and visionary leader was elected to lead Nigeria into the future”.

“I belong to the group that is uncomfortable with the status quo, and we must do what we have to do to save this country and set us back on the path of progress,” he said.

Ozigbo will now be rooting for Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in next year's election.

That's one less vote for Atiku Abubakar of the PDP.
