Former Anambra governorship candidate, Mr. Valentine Ozigbo, has reacted strongly to the Supreme Court judgment in the case between him and businessman Nicholas Ukachukwu over who should be the All Progressives Congress (APC) flag bearer in Anambra.
In a statement issued on Monday, Ozigbo described the ruling as a “deep wound to Nigeria’s democracy” and alleged that the court came under “intense pressure from anti-democratic forces.”
He claimed that his legal team was prevented from fully presenting their arguments and suggested that the verdict was delivered without proper hearing.
“Our lawyers were silenced and our case — a case of truth, merit, and hope — was denied a hearing,” Ozigbo stated.
“They announced their verdict without listening, decided without examining, and declared without conscience.”
Despite expressing disappointment, Ozigbo vowed to continue what he called a struggle for justice and democratic integrity in Nigeria, insisting he remains undeterred.
“We will not bow. We will not surrender. We will not let darkness write our destiny,” he declared.
He emphasized that his reaction was not about personal loss but about protecting democratic values, adding that he remains hopeful for eventual vindication.
