COURT PROTEST: VALENTINE OZIGBO CALLS FOR CALM, SAYS HE IS A FIRM BELIEVER IN THE RULE OF LAW
The attention of Mr. Valentine Ozigbo, the flag-bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the November 6, 2021, Anambra governorship election, has been drawn to a protest at the grounds of the High Court of Anambra State by a group of alleged members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) under the aegis of Independent Leaders Forum against the Honourable Justice Obiorah Nwabunike, which also claims among others the alleged conspiracy between Chief Cletus Madubugwu Ibeto and Senator Ugochukwu Uba to undermine the PDP in Anambra State.
Mr. Ozigbo wishes to state that while he appreciates the place of protests in a democracy, the frustration of the said protesters as with the majority of the peace-loving people of Anambra over the needless but sadly often recurring legal brickbats emanating from Senator Ugochukwu Uba, as well as, their solidarity toward the PDP, whose mandate the Party entrusts with him, he believes that the judicial system is rugged enough to do justice on the matter.
Ozigbo, a nationally recognized peace advocate, calls for calm among Ndi Anambra and the discontinuance of any further protests, as well as an end to the victimization of respected members of the judiciary like Honourable Justice Obiorah, whom by their esteemed offices must entertain all matters brought to their courts.
Mr. Valentine Ozigbo, in the same vein, calls for an end to the victimization of Chief Cletus Madubugwu Ibeto, whom he describes as an industrial icon of Nigeria and pride to Ndi Anambra among many industrial giants in the state. He expresses his confidence that the current judicial issues will be a thing of the past and will lead to the ultimate betterment of Ndi Anambra.
