Business mogul and new entrants into the Labour Party (LP), Valentine Ozigbo, has expressed optimism about Nigeria’s future in light of the possibilities of the youths taking over the country.
The multiple-award-winning global chief executive officer, who spoke at a reception, organised for him in Lagos, thanked the party leadership for the warm reception since he joined the party and said LP was his natural home, given his relationship with Peter Obi, the party’s presidential flag-bearer.
“I’ve found peace and love. There’s no way I will not be with Obi. I am 100 pe rcent ‘obidient’,” he said.
He said Obi represents one of the heroes of the nation’s democracy and he would usher in a new dawn for Nigerians.
“Our mission to take back Nigeria is well underway, and Obi is fully committed to doing what it takes to rescue the destiny of Nigerian youths from the chains of visionless, incompetent, and self-serving leadership.
“Nigerians are blessed to witness the radiance of a generational leader who comes to the task with the kind of sincerity and compassion I see in Obi. Together, we will take back Nigeria,” he said.
Ozigbo was the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the 2021 Anambra gubernatorial election, who resigned from his role at Transcorp Plc., to dedicate the next chapter of his life to public service.
Obi welcomed Ozigbo to the party and thanked him for joining the movement to take back Nigeria. He called on all lovers of Nigeria to join hands with him, the Labour Party, and the Obidient Movement to save Nigeria from the looming total collapse.
“The wealth of nations is not natural resources, space, or land mass. The wealth of nations is determined by production. For us to turn the fortuned of Nigeria around, we must shift from consumption to production and begin exporting manufactured goods.
“Right now, Nigerians are exporting their children to foreign countries. You ask Nigerians where are your children? They will tell you, ‘They are in Canada or America, or UK’.
“But Canadian children are not anywhere, they are with their parents in Canada. American children are with their parents in America, and British children are in the UK. But Nigerians are exporting their children abroad because their country is not secure, it is not stable, and it is not working.”
