In a statement via his X official handle, Ozigbo said that his resignation from the party was not a moment of uncertainty, but rather a bold step towards a brighter future for Anambra State.
A close ally of the Labour Party 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, Ozigbo joined the LP alongside Peter Obi and his supporters shortly before the 2023 general election.
