If feelers from the camp of Peter Obi’s Labour Party are to be taken seriously, Val Obi’s Valentine’s period in the Party is about to end. Although it was predicted, what is happening could make a seer appear validated. A man who is becoming more mobile while seeking political relevance from one party to another, Val Ozigbo is becoming like a rolling stone, who many have suggested would betray Peter Obi and swallow his vomit by joining any party that will give life to his current financial doldrum. According to our sources, the rumour pervades that Val Ozigbo is heavily indebted to Peter Obi .
The source who craves anonymity said, there has been serious tension between the two of them. Val appears very broke and may not be able to repay the debt allegedly owed Peter and unconfirmed sources claimed Peter Obi has sworn not to sponsor him again. Close associates of Peter Obi believe it will be impossible to defeat Soludo in the coming election and as a shrewd businessman, he has decided not to waste his money dead on arrival project.
Consequently, Peter Obi is said to be looking for someone who has his own resources to use for the election. According to a close associate, PO is considering one Bath Nwibe or John Nwosu as a possible candidate. Peter Obi’s body language has boldly told Val Ozigbo that he is a political liability. Peter was quoted as saying that Val Ozigbo can’t win his ward again.
Val Ozigbo is said to be bitter and has decided to join the APC. There he hopes to pose as an enemy to Peter Obi and hope that APC will consider him for appointment. He is said to desperately need political appointment for his financial rehabilitation or to get a party nomination as a way to raise money for his survival. Close associates of Peter Obi are said to be happy about the move as they consider it a good riddance to a disposable political waste.
If Val’s current moves materialises, it will be his third political party in four years. The announcement is expected to be made any moment from now, a source revealed.
