ONITSHA, Anambra – Valentine Ozigbo, People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant in the November 2021  Governorship election  has celebrated the Valentine with Anambra state women. Valentine turned out to be the birthday of Valentine Ozigbo.

Ozigbo said he was born on 14th February  and wanted to celebrate his birthday with women in the state as mark of his respect for womanhood .The event which took place at Emmaus House, Awka, was unique and the first of its kind by any aspirant gunning for the office of governor in Anambra state.

The host, his wife and other participants were treated to some trending local vibes and the highpoint of the event was the sharing of gifts by Mr Ozigbo to the participants numbering over 600 amid an atmosphere of  love and merriments.

Addressing the women who dressed in red  the colour of  love for St. Valentine’s day, Mr Ozigbo said the decision to celebrate Valentine’s Day with them was not a coincidence or political gimmick but a deliberate design bearing in mind that women embody and manifest unconditional love and compassionate living.

“I decided to celebrate Valentine’s Day with all of you, so we  could interact, relax our nerves, renew our strength and remind ourselves of the important goal we have ahead of us,” Ozigbo said.

“It is time for our story to change for the good, and that change will come with the help of  you people and others that could not make it to attend. I am a firm believer in the innate power and strong character of women. When you support a project, you don’t waver, when you move, you pull along your husband and children. Outside God you are the next”
