Ozigbo, now a Labour Party aspirant for the Anambra State governorship election, said this when he and the member of the House of Representatives representing Ogbaru Federal Constituency, Afam Ogene and other party leaders received over 300 defectors from the All Progressive Grand Alliance into the Labour Party, on Sunday.
The defectors, mainly APGA members in the Ogbaru Local Government Area, were led into the Labour Party by the APGA aspirant for Ogbaru 1 Constituency of Anambra State House of Assembly during the 2023 general elections, Pius Igwilo.
They were also received by the Chairman of the Labour Party in the Ogbaru LGA and several other stalwarts of the LP in the local government.
Among the defectors were former local government chairmen, ward chairmen, women leaders and critical stakeholders in Ogbaru Local Government Area.
Ozigbo, while receiving the defectors at the Holiday Resort field, Onitsha, on Saturday, expressed optimism that the rate at which members of other political parties in the state were defecting to the LP would guarantee the party’s successes in the future elections at local, state and national levels.
He charged the new entrants to become “fishers of men,” by ensuring that they convinced members of other political parties in their various wards to join the Labour Party, which is the “moving train.” Punch
