Valentine Ozigbo at Anambra Guber Debate 2021
“I am bringing to bear decades of experiences in diverse fields that are relevant to the fundamental problems plaguing Ndi Anambra.”
“The current decay in all sectors in Anambra is “heartbreaking and heartrending,” stating that the best way to do away with key actors of the dysfunctional past is rejecting them at the polls.”
“How do you stop the rot and the decay? It is by doing away with the dysfunctional past and embracing a leader who understands global trends and is passionate about effecting true change”
“If you create the problem, you cannot be part of the solution. Anambra needs a young, vibrant CEO, and I believe I can solve the state’s problems.”
“I am bringing to bear decades of experiences in diverse fields that are relevant to the fundamental problems plaguing Ndi Anambra, from economy to finance, hospitality, oil and gas, power, agribusiness, sports, entertainment, education and philanthropy”.
“I’m not satisfied that we allowed insecurity to reach such a destructive dimension before moving to curb it. How come we are not bringing people to book? How come intelligence hasn’t identified any culprit?”
“The single most crucial need of Ndi Anambra is security. Nothing can function without security, and the reality is that APGA has failed at the state level, and APC has failed at the national level.”
“Nothing has worked in recent times, and Ndi Anambra are clamouring for positive change.”
“IPOB started due to failed leadership, and Nnamdi Kanu has attempted to fill the leadership vacuum. I have revealed my stance and will repeat it; the Federal Government must release Nnamdi Kanu and de-proscribe IPOB. This will drastically reduce insecurity and douse the agitations.”
“Anambra is suffering from the effects of the abandonment of governance, promising to leverage the power of the private sector and multilateral organisations.”
“Money goes to where money is comfortable, and our terrain is grossly uncompetitive.”
“The ‘Aku Ruo Ulo’ of Governor Willie Obiano is dead on arrival because Anambra lacks the enabling environment to make businesses thrive. I have seen several business moguls who decided to invest in Anambra and fail because it is not sustainable.”
“Our cluster approach, which experts have applauded, will see Onitsha Cluster emerge as a true commercial hub and Nnewi axis as an industrial hub. Awka, which is a glorified village, will be repositioned as a true state capital, Omambala will be a hotbed for agricultural production, and the Old Aguata Cluster will be the home of our technology hub.”
“A true leader must be humble and ready to take advice from people, because nobody knows it all. I am humble enough to accept that I do not have a monopoly of knowledge, and where I am lacking, I know how to assemble a team and get results.”
