A foremost Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) aspirant in Anambra State, Valentine Ozigbo has stated that June 26 is sacrosanct.
Ozigbo stated this when he joined several high-ranking members of the PDP family in Anambra State in welcoming the former National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisa Metuh to the State.
Ozigbe used the opportunity to urge the delegates to make a date with history in carrying out this most important job and to do some soul searching in order to appreciate the weight and importance of this responsibility.
“We, as a political party, should learn from our previous mistakes. We have been out of power for about 16 years now in Anambra. From the political realities on the ground, we are remarkably close to Agu Awka and we should not let this golden opportunity slip off our fingers”, he equipped.
“To seize the day, we need to put our best foot forward. Ndi Anambra are wiser, politically conscious, and ready for a new dawn. This is not the time for decisions driven by retrogressive emotions. Let us show the people our readiness to change their fortunes,” he added.

While speaking to journalists at the reception held at the Anambra State secretariat in Udoka Estate, Awka, Mr Ozigbo expressed happiness at having Chief Metuh back home as he was received at the PDP office.
“I’m excited that we have this kind of event where we have gathered to celebrate and not to mourn. At some point, one of our leaders in the PDP, Chief Metuh was in captivity and was unhealthy. Today, he is free and looking very fit.
“Now, it’s time for him to bring to bear his experiences at all levels of the PDP, especially as we gear up for the 2021 governorship election in Anambra State.
“So I’m excited to have someone with the calibre of Chief Metuh out and fully prepared to help us launch a new dawn in Anambra State,” Mr Ozigbo added.
Other PDP stalwarts who welcomed the Chief Metuh include Chief Okey Muo Aroh (Ike Abatete), a member of the National Executive Committee; Chief Ndubuisi Nwobu, the PDP Chairman in Anambra State, members of the Anambra State PDP executive, local government leaders, and hundreds of party members.
