Bashir Ahmad, the former media aide to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari says the opposition political parties will become weaker even before the beginning of the full electoral cycle.
Ahmad made the disclosure in a post on X as he welcomed Valentine Ozigbo, the governorship aspirant of the Labour Party in Anambra State has recently dumped the party.
While Ozigbo has not openly disclosed his next line of action after quitting the party there are rife speculations that he could be headed to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to actualize his ambition to be governor.
“We welcome Valentine Ozigbo to our great party, the All Progressives Congress. It is now clear that even before the time of the actual battle, all the formations of the opposing sides will disappear. Ka Anambra Chawapu!” Ahmad wrote in the post.
Ozigbo in a statement said he resigned his membership of the Labour Party in line with his commitment to the greater vision for the state.
In a press statement he signed, the former chief executive officer of Transnational Corporation, also known as Transcorp said: “A few moments ago, at a State Executive Committee meeting of the Labour Party in Awka, in Anambra State, I formally submitted my resignation letter to my ward’s Chairman.
“Before this, His Excellency Peter Obi was duly informed of my decision as a mark of my deep respect for his leadership and the principles we have shared on this journey. I equally notified the National Chairman.
“At every defining moment in history, our choices shape the future we dream of. Today, as I take a new step in my journey of service, I do so with an unshakable resolve, a clear vision, and the unwavering belief that Anambra’s best days are ahead of us.
“I joined politics not for personal ambition but because I believe in the boundless potential of our people. I believe in a leadership that is compassionate, that inspires, and that truly serves the people. That mission has not changed; it has only become stronger.
“Recent events have made one thing clear: the time has come for us to build something new, something bold, something that speaks to the hopes and aspirations of every Anambra son and daughter.
“That is why, after deep reflection and broad consultations, I have chosen to take a different path, one that is not about party lines, but about our people. About progress. About a movement that will bring real transformation to our great state.”
Ozigbo joined Peter Obi in the Labour Party in 2022.
