2025: I'm ready to take oath to do one term, Peter Obi knows my plans - Ozigbo


Valentine Ozigbo, a former President and Chief Executive Officer of Transnational Corporation of Nigeria PLC (Transcorp) has said he is ready to take an oath of agreement to serve only one year in office if elected in 2025 as the governor of Anambra State.

He said the leader of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, knew his( Ozigbo's) plans to just do one term.

Ozigbo who was the 2021 Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said he had decided that he would contest the 2025 governorship election in Anambra State because the incumbent governor of Anambra State, Prof Chukwuma Soludo had performed below expectations.

He said this in an interactive meeting with journalists in Awka on Saturday, stating that he waited to assess Governor Chukwuma Soludo after two years in office before he could throw his hat in the ring for the Anambra guber race.


He said after two years, he was not impressed with Soludo’s performance.

He said he would run for just one term in office to complete the zoning arrangement which favours the Anambra South Senatorial District where he and Soludo hail from.

He said: “We have seen the leadership of Soludo in two years and some of you may be impressed but I’m not. After last election in 2021, I called and wished him well and moved on and we have never spoken again. My decision was to assess him after two years, and having done that , I’m not impressed and I want to start holding him accountable.


“I’m here to share my thoughts with you, what I think and no matter how you see what he (Soludo) is doing, you will be more proud when I mount the saddle.

“We need to change the narrative and look for a way to survive. We must fight to rescue Anambra. I’m a
non-transactional politician. I have several things I can do, but my worry is how we can recover the state and put her on the path of development.

“Zoning is a good thing, but it must be combined with competence to make sense. Don’t pick a renegade just because he is from a certain zone, and don’t pick him, when you know you can pick one that is better.

“I respect zoning, and I will be making a case for a single term of four years. Anyone who sees what Alex Otti is doing in Abia will know that four years is enough time to do a lot of work.

“I will honour that principle of zoning, and I will not need anyone’s push or prompting to do otherwise. I will be ready to do an agreement and do an undertaking that I will do just one term. I also wish to tell you that Obi has been consistent that a southerner who emerges will only do one term.

“It is a settled matter that I intend to run for just one term. I intend to keep faith with the agreement,” Ozigbo said.

Nonsense.

Desperado

Desperate moves
Why will you want to go for just one term when the constitution permits you for two.

This is how it starts.

When POWER is tasted, it becomes difficult to drop

The zoning formula has come to stay in some states

If you have something to offer why do you want to do one term?

Ozigbo is a jobless desperate man. Four years is not enough to develop any where in Nigeria but it is definitely enough time to steal and loot. Anambra has so many cities, towns and villages yearning for development so when a liar says he needs only four years to develop the state, just know that his intention is to steal and go. He must have learned how to lie from his frustrated boss.

Do the one term in spirit and wake up from your sleep, Mr Desperado Dreamer!

Solution abiago n'Anambra through Soludo and we are solidly behind him till 8 good years of his administration. 4+4=8 for SOLUDO!

You are nice man sha, but this oath thing to me is just 'shalaye'


Because I know you will surely overperform if given that one term so that the people will call you come and complete the good governance ...



Well, just like you insinuated, a good governor can perform in a term what others use to terms to achieve



Wish you success and good luck in your pursuit! 🙏

He wants to prove that a government can perform what others use two terms for just in a term and I quite agree with him.

😁

This is very deceptive talk , Nassarawa state governor said something similar but when the time came he even became desperate to run for second term

He already figured it that one term is enough for him to accumulate wealth that will last him the rest of his life.

He is an old man, he is not going to provide a future that he won't be part of.
He only needs a little time to squander anambra treasury.

Development is a continuous process. 4 years cannot be enough to develop Anambra.
