Valentine Ozigbo is a Nigerian politician and business executive. He is the former President and Chief Executive Officer of Transnational Corporation of Nigeria plc (Transcorp), and governorship candidate in the 2021 governorship election in Anambra state, Mr. Valentine Ozigbo (VCO) created a perpetual tsunami in the heart of ndi Anambra during and after the gubernatorial election in the state.
The declination of His Excellency, Mr. Valentine Ozigbo on Anaocha conferment created another fear in some political parties which made them start running helter-skelter in the media space and beyond.
The name ” Valentine Ozigbo” is a household name across all the clans and is a nomenclature that is being loved and cherished by every onye Anambra.
The Great Minds’ (GM) philosophy is not far-fetched from the common aspirations of every clan and well-meaning Anambrian. Seven out of ten individuals in the state ( across the 326 wards) have the ism of the Great Minds ethics of having a good government in power regardless of political party.
Great Minds (GM) is a political pressure group that has the interest of Ndi Anambra at heart and is proactive in constituting most people’s choices in power. Great Minds doesn’t affiliate with any political party or individual but they work with any person who has the blueprint that can change the all-around narrative and status quo of Ndi Anambra and its environment for a better society.
The convener of the Great Minds Anambra State, Hon. Wendy Atikpoh (Mmilimalugo) debunked the reactions of some political parties in the state, on the decline to attend the Anaocha annual festival and the conferment of chieftaincy by His Excellency, Mr. Valentine Ozgbo,
who was honorably invited to be conferred as ” Enyi Oma Anaocha” by the revered Anaocha Traditional Ruling Council and the good people of Anaocha LGA.
She further asserted that due to the interest of Ndi Anambra supplanting his (Valentine Ozigbo), and the unnecessary tension that might be created in the political space in the state, he decided to decline the invitation after much consultations with the well-meaning Anambrians.
“Who is afraid of VCO? He is loved by all, especially the youths. And the Traditional rulers in Anaocha saw in him (VCO) the genuine leadership spirit which prompted the chieftaincy title” Enyi Oma Anaocha” which some sycophants politicized.
Whether titled or not, Val Ozigbo remains the man of the people. Obidients and grassroots will decide their next Governor, ” – Mmilimalugo declared.
The Secretary General of the organization and former CIPY, Anambra State Comr. Ezeh Ikechukwu (Senator Iyke) says, Anambra is bigger than anyone who thinks he can use any given opportunity to politicize an event that is far from politics and the interest of ndi Anambra must be projected above all.
The Secretary-General asserts that His Excellency, Valentine Ozigbo’s declination of the chieftaincy title given to him by the Anaocha Traditional Ruling Council to retain normalcy in the political sphere of the state, speaks volumes about him.
” Some people always politicize most events to the detriment of the common man on the street” – Senator Iyke stated.
