VALENTINE OZIGBO CONVENES MAIDEN NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF THE VALIANT MOVEMENT ABUJA, Nigeria — Valentine Ozigbo, business leader and founder of the Valiant Movement, on Saturday, June 13, 2026, convened the organisation's first National Conference, bringing together coordinators and leaders from all 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory for a day of orientation, leadership training, and strategic planning. Held at Hotel De Bently, Abuja, the conference marked a significant milestone for the non-partisan leadership and citizenship development initiative, which is anchored on the principles of courage, character, and capacity. Activities commenced on Friday, June 12, with a welcome dinner that brought state leaders together for the first time as a national body. The gathering provided an opportunity for delegates travelling from across the country to build relationships ahead of the conference, reflecting the movement's belief that enduring national transformation must be rooted in genuine community and shared purpose. Delegates reconvened on Saturday for the main conference, where they were formally introduced to the movement's vision, values, structure, and strategic direction before participating in a packed programme featuring presentations by members of the national leadership team. Delivering the keynote address, Ozigbo, a multiple-award-winning global CEO, described the gathering as fundamentally different from traditional political assemblies. "This is not merely another conference," Ozigbo told delegates. "It's not another political meeting. It's not another gathering of people looking for positions or titles or applause. This gathering is different." He argued that Nigeria's most pressing challenge extends beyond politics. "At its deepest level, Nigeria suffers from a crisis of leadership values, civic consciousness, and moral courage," he said. Ozigbo painted a picture of decades of normalised corruption, transactional leadership, and widespread civic disengagement. "Too many young people have concluded that integrity does not pay," the acclaimed political leader said. "Too many leaders now pursue power without purpose." While acknowledging leadership failures, he insisted that citizens also bear responsibility for national renewal. "A nation does not collapse only because leaders fail. A nation also collapses when citizens abandon responsibility," Ozigbo said. "A society does not die merely because bad people exist. A society dies when good people surrender responsibility. That is why the Valiant Movement was born." Addressing what he described as "the tyranny of blame," Ozigbo challenged Nigerians to move beyond assigning responsibility for the country's problems and focus instead on solutions. "Responsibility is the highest form of power," he said. On the question of restructuring, Ozigbo clarified his position. "When I say restructuring, let me define it. I don't mean division. I don't mean hatred. I don't mean violence. I don't mean the destruction of Nigeria. I mean the honest redesign of systems and governance structures so that this country can work more fairly, more efficiently, and more sustainably for all its people." He argued that political restructuring must be accompanied by a restructuring of values and mindset. "We must restructure how we think, how we lead, how we speak, how we treat truth, and how we understand citizenship and responsibility, because a corrupt mind will eventually corrupt even the best institutions and constitutions." Responding to questions about the movement's political intentions, Ozigbo emphasised that the nationwide structure was not being built to advance any individual's political ambitions. Instead, he described the Valiant Movement as a long-term civic and cultural intervention aimed at transforming leadership culture and citizenship values.

A NEW CHAPTER: A BOLD STEP FOR ANAMBRA'S FUTURE My Dear Ndi Anambra, A few moments ago, at a State Executive Committee meeting of the Labour Party in Awka, in Anambra State, I formally submitted my resignation letter to my ward’s Chairman. My unwavering commitment to the greater vision for our state guides this decision. Before this, His Excellency Peter Obi was duly informed of my decision as a mark of my deep respect for his leadership and the principles we have shared on this journey. I equally notified the National Chairman. At every defining moment in history, our choices shape the future we dream of. Today, as I take a new step in my journey of service, I do so with an unshakable resolve, a clear vision, and the unwavering belief that Anambra's best days are ahead of us. I joined politics not for personal ambition but because I believe in the boundless potential of our people. I believe in a leadership that is compassionate, that inspires, and that truly serves the people. That mission has not changed; it has only become stronger. Recent events have made one thing clear: the time has come for us to build something new, something bold, something that speaks to the hopes and aspirations of every Anambra son and daughter. That is why, after deep reflection and broad consultations, I have chosen to take a different path, one that is not about party lines, but about our people. About progress. About a movement that will bring real transformation to our great state. Let me be clear: This is not a moment of uncertainty. It is a moment of celebration. A moment of renewed strength. And a moment of boundless possibilities. To those who believe in this vision, stand firm. To those who have walked this journey with me, stay resolute. Because what lies ahead is bigger, brighter, and more powerful than anything we leave behind. Our work is just beginning. The fire for a better Anambra burns stronger than ever. And together, we will rise, we will build, and we will win. This is our moment. Ka Anambra Chawapu! Valentine Ozigbo #KaAnambraChawapu2025 #VCOCares #MakaOdimmaAnambra

Yesterday, on the sacred Festum Beatae Mariae Virginis Fatimae (Feast of Our Lady of Fatima), I embarked on a deeply personal pilgrimage through the spiritual heart of Catholicism here in Rome. I had the honour of visiting two extraordinary Marian sanctuaries: the Basilica Sanctae Mariae Maioris (Basilica of Saint Mary Major) and the Ecclesia Sancti Alphonsi Mariae de Ligorio (Church of Saint Alphonsus of Liguori). At Santa Maria Maggiore, the first Marian basilica in the Western Church and one of the four major papal basilicas, I was enveloped by the tranquillity of its sacred halls. Here lies the tomb of our beloved His Holiness Pope Francis, a towering moral force of our time who guided the world with gentleness, clarity, and radical compassion. I had the solemn privilege of praying at his tomb and lifting my dear homeland — Nigeria, and my beloved state — Anambra, in Holy Mass, entrusting our hopes to God under the tender gaze of Our Lady, Mother Mary. From there, I continued to the Sanctissimus Redemptor et Sanctus Alphonsus in Via Merulana — the Church of the Most Holy Redeemer and Saint Alphonsus of Liguori — home to the original 14th-century icon of Our Mother of Perpetual Help. This powerful image of the Blessed Virgin — the Virgin of the Passion — has comforted the hearts of millions across the globe. Standing before her, I whispered prayers for personal strength and peace in our land, light for our leaders, and help for all who labour under the weight of despair. To experience this on May 13th, a date etched into Catholic memory through the miraculous apparitions at Fátima in 1917, was no coincidence. In a world shaken by uncertainty, Our Lady’s call — to pray with devotion, to repent with humility, and to hold fast to the hope of peace — rings with renewed urgency. May this time draw us back to heartfelt prayer and a deeper service to one another. May the Holy Spirit grant wisdom and strength to the Church under the shepherding of His Holiness, Pope Leo XIV. Mater Fatimae, ora pro nobis. Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us. #OurLadyOfFatima #SantaMariaMaggiore #OurMotherOfPerpetualHelp #KaAnambraChawapu #PopeFrancisLegacy #Rome

Umunne m, Ndi Anambra, It is time for us to stand united and address the insecurity that has devastated our homeland, making it a thing of the past—whether or not Governor Soludo prioritises it. Under our collective watch, the most critical task at hand is ensuring that Ndi Anambra can once again sleep peacefully, free from fear. We must move beyond assigning blame—whether to the churches, traditional institutions, or any other group. Coexistence is possible as long as we all operate within the bounds of the law. As our people wisely say, “Nwa mmụọ anaghị agba nwa mmadu; nwa mmadu anaghị agba nwa mmụọ” (Let neither the spiritual nor the human destroy one another). Enough is enough. To the youth engaged in these harmful activities: I acknowledge the economic challenges you face, but destroying your own communities or life you haven't created is not the solution. Reports confirm what we already know—both state and non-state actors have turned our region into a battlefield. I call for immediate action: 1. A state security summit to develop sustainable solutions. 2. Greater accountability from security agencies. 3. Comprehensive youth empowerment programmes to address root causes. 4. Organization, strengthening and synergizing of local security structures 5. ⁠Setup a “ See Something; Say Something” regime to garner deep intelligence to make criminals to be afraid of their shadows. This is not about politics—it is about survival. The documented violations of Nigerian criminal law and international humanitarian law require urgent intervention. No more delays. No more empty promises. The time for decisive action is now. May God protect Ndi Anambra. #SaveAnambra #WakeUpNdiAnambra

On this year's Valentine's Day, I had the honour and privilege of serving the vulnerable people in the grassroots of Anambra State. At my non-profit, Valentine Chineto Ozigbo (VCO) Foundation's impact strategy sessions 2025, which we held last year, we mapped out programmes that would directly impact millions of people. For 2025, our guiding mantra is TRANSFORMATION THROUGH LOVE AND SERVICE. So when the incredible women of Ngalbassy Ladies Proactive Association approached us for partnership on their feed-the-hungry programme on Valentine's Day, we jumped right in. What a joy it was to work with the Ngalbassy Ladies to bring an incredible vision to life. Our Val's Day feed-the-hungry outreach directly impacted thousands of lives across Anambra because of these passionate women, who are the dedicated female wing of the Hungry and Angry Initiative (H&A), a reputable NGO founded by Dr. Chido Agunabo Ajuorah. H&A has been at the frontlines of community development and advocacy for good governance for over a decade, building an impressive network of over 5,000 members. Watching these dedicated women in action on the streets of Awka, Onitsha, Ihiala, and Ekwulobia distributing hot meals to the vulnerable people on the streets, I was reminded of the profound impact we can make when we embrace collaboration. This picture of practical compassion is what leadership looks like – identifying needs in our community and taking action. The Ngalbassy Ladies exemplified this perfectly, and I'm deeply grateful that the VCO Foundation could play a role in amplifying their impact. To Dr. Chido and the entire H&A family, particularly the Ngalbassy Ladies – thank you for your vision and tireless commitment to our people. You represent the best of Anambra's spirit. Thank you to NTA for spotlighting our modest efforts to uplift our communities. At VCO Foundation, we will remember this year's Valentine's Day as a marker for what this programme truly stands for - the restoration of dignity and an offering of hope to our children, our brothers, and our sisters in need. #VCOCares #NgalbassyLadies #HungryAndAngry
