APC chieftain and Governorship aspirant, Mr Val Ozigbo has narrated the sordid experience he had in Labour Party before leaving for APC.
Ozigbo stated this at Eagles Assembly, held in Awka.
In a lecture, Ozigbo enjoined the youth to seek the face of God as well as conduct adequate research before following anyone as a mentor.
Ozigbo, who argued that some leaders find it difficult to appreciate smart people following them as mentees, stressed that emotional intelligence would equally help the youth to succeed because it was a master key to unlock resilience for effective leadership and lasting success in all sphere of life.
“Seek Him first and every other things will be added unto you. To find a mentor, do it yourself. Conduct research to find out those with leadership traits you want. Do not wait for them to find you. Learn from their experiences, pick those things you want to learn from them and move on to effect the desired change in society.
“Why are people looking down upon us? What is the excuse? There is no excuse in life if you want to succeed. It is important to be focused. You can learn from others’ experiences. I have been insulted and humiliated but I have never allowed that to wear me down. Always remember that hard work pays,” he stated.
On his political journey, Ozigbo, who was the governorship candidate of PDP in Anambra State 2021 poll, alleged that he was rigged out by combined forces he would not like to mention, adding that his attempt to reclaim his mandate in the forthcoming Anambra poll was again sabotaged.
According to him, the forces came after him in the Labour Party (LP) where he was almost unopposed candidate and he forced him to abandon the party.
“I left Labour Party because they have concluded on how to mess me up. I wouldn’t know whatever reasons that made them plan this against me. I won’t mention names of those persons. But I have learnt my lessons. I usually ask for God’s direction in whatever I do. God has directed me on what to do. That was why I left. I can’t join ADC because some of persons in the party can’t be trusted any more,” he clarified.
Ozigbo recalled that the LP, during a convention held at Nnewi, endorsed Mr. Peter Obi as Presidential candidate for 2027, Alex Otti for Abia State Governorship poll, and others, but kept mute on his ambition even when they met at State level.
According to him, at a stage, those loyal to him were victimised by the party, which he described as a clear evidence of the plans to frustrate his ambition of becoming the LP governorship candidate and eventual governor of Anambra State
