Fabian Ozoigbo, an ally of the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has dumped the party for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra state. Ozoigbo, who was the head of Logistics of the Labour Party, declared that he is ready to work for President Bola Tinubu in 2027 for his efforts in stabilising the country since he assumed office.
He said there is a lack of trust in the Labour Party, while blasting the party for faulting the result as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) during the last presidential election. advertisement Ozoigbo, who briefed reporters on Wednesday in Awka, said that as a member of the opposition, he had expected Nigeria’s economy to collapse following the removal of the fuel subsidy.
He, however, said that to his admiration, President Tinubu has managed to keep the economy stable. He said,
“As a member of the opposition, I had expected the economy to collapse irretrievably after the removal of fuel subsidy, but that the economy is still on, though with hardships is a puzzle to me.
“I have decided to come close to the government that is holding this economy to observe and take part in this surprising phenomenon.
“My goal is to be part of a new Nigeria that is possible with positive policies that will turn the economy around. Since the economy has not collapsed by now and there are signs of recovery, I want to be part of this economic miracle.”
Ozoigbo said his entry into the APC at a time Anambra is moving towards the November 8 governorship election was timely, especially with the election of a grassroots politician, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, as the candidate.
He said Ukachukwu and Senator Uche Ekwunife’s entry into the governorship race would make it easy for APC to win Anambra. “APC in recent times threw up a Trojan horse in the person of Prince Nicolas Ukachukwu as their candidate.
“His emergence as a grassroots-oriented person, coupled with his philanthropic gestures over the years, has begun to attract people, especially the middle-class citizens of the state, to his quest. My people and I want to be part of it.
“His emergence is a clarion call for all men of goodwill and good conscience to gather together to make the point that Anambra is not for only rich people but for both the rich and the poor.”
Speaking about the 2023 presidential election, Ozoigbo remarked that it is regrettable there is significant distrust among members within the Labour Party.
He stated that it is even worse that, despite all the claims to victory, the Labour Party relied on the same INEC result it had discredited to prove its case in court, and thus faced failure.
