Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The All Progressives, Congress, APC governorship aspirant, Mr Valentine Ozigbo has said he is confident he will win Soludo in the forthcoming Anambra governorship election if the court replaces him with Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu as governorship candidate of the party.<\/p>\n

Ozigbo had dragged Ukachukwu to court after the primary election of the party, claiming he won the election for the candidate of the party.<\/p>\n

He vowed not to relent in pursuing his mandate, claiming that even if the court ruled in his favour just two weeks to the November 8 election, he would go ahead and floor the incumbent governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo.<\/p>\n

During an interview with media personality, Uche Nworah at Lagos airport on Tuesday, Ozigbo said: \u201cWe\u2019re in court to challenge the candidacy of Nicholas Ukachukwu. We have been in the high court and appeal court. People tell me there is no time any longer that even if I remove him I may not have time anymore to campaign and win, but I tell them that even if it is just two weeks or one month, we will go ahead to win the election.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe good news is that people are eagerly expecting me to come and fix Anambra, and the the bad news now is that Soludo is going about the election as if he does not have any challengers, because he knows he does not<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople want to hear what I am going to do differently in insecurity, infrastructure, education, healthcare, but I always tell people do look forward to first asking who is this person? People can pay consultants to write manifestos for them; that I will do this, I will do that, but can they be trusted? What is their level of emotional intelligence?<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m an investor, and I know that if you invest in the wrong person you are finished. Soludo told us about building African Dubai Taiwan. Where is it today. The true question is who is Soludo? He should not have been entrusted with power in the first place.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am better prepared than him because at least I agree that I do not know certain things, I know my weaknesses and my positive sides.\u201d<\/p>\n

On whether he will support Ukachukwu if the court matter doesn\u2019t go his way, he said: \u201cIf the party makes a mistake, I will leave the party in their mistake, that doesn\u2019t mean I will leave the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is life beyond just the coming election. Some people already condemned me for joining APCs and they thought leaving Labour Party was suicidal, but in the fullness of time, they found out that was the best decision of my life,\u201d Ozigbo stated.<\/p>\n
