A chieftain of Labour Party (LP) in Anambra State and Head of Logistics at the National Campaign Organisation during the 2023 election, Hon Fabian Ozoigbo has resigned his membership of the party and joined the All Progressives Congress, APC, with his supporters.

Ozoigbo said he moved to APC to support President Bola Tinubu's efforts to stabilize the country.

Addressing a press conference in Awka,, he said that as a member of the opposition, he had expected the economy of Nigeria to collapse after the removal of fuel subsidy, but to his admiration, President Tinubu has kept the economy stable.

He said: "I have decided to come close to the government that is holding this economy to observe and take part in this surprising phenomenon. My goal is to be part of a new Nigeria that is possible with positive policies that will turn the economy around.

Since the economy has not collapsed by now and there are signs of recovery, I want to be part of this economic miracle.

APC in recent times threw up a Trojan horse in the person of Prince Nicolas Ukachukwu as its candidate.

As a grass root oriented person, coupled with his philanthropic gestures over the years, Ukachukwu has begun to attract people, especially the middle class citizens of the state to his quest and my people want to be part of it.

His emergence is a clarion call for all men of goodwill and good conscience to gather together to make the point that Anambra is not for only rich people, but for both the rich and the poor."

Ozoigbo said his entry into the APC at a time Anambra is moving towards the November 8 governorship election was timely, especially with the election of a grassroot politician, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu as the candidate, adding that this would make it easy for APC to win Anambra.

Speaking on the 2023 presidential election, Ozoigbo said it is regrettable that within Labour Party, there was a lot of distrust among members.

He said that it is even worse that with all the claims to victory during the 2023 election, Labour Party relied on the same INEC result it discredited to prove its case at the tribunal.
