My remaining in the APC should not be mistaken for aligning myself with the government in power. I do see greater possibilities for constructive engagement from within, and remaining in the party preserves the opportunity for that engagement. At the same time, I am yet to see a credible alternative that persuades me to take a different political path. But neither party membership nor access to government can become an end in itself. For me, there is a clear condition for becoming truly part of any government: I must retain the freedom to remain truthful to my conscience and to subordinate every political allegiance to God first. If that space does not exist, I would rather simply remain where I am - in the APC, but not of the APC. Watch the full interview here:

I am glad to finally share this excerpt from a recent interview, partly because it lets me respond to a question that has appeared repeatedly on my timelines: Why haven't I been more visibly active in the current political cycle? But my answer points to something larger than me. Over time, I have become increasingly concerned by how quickly we judge one another, especially in politics. We judge by appearances, by what we have heard, by the camp someone belongs to, or by conclusions we formed long before we knew the whole story. I could simply correct the assumptions made about me and move on. But that would miss the more important lesson. So I want to suggest a private exercise, particularly for those of us deeply engaged in politics. You may have heard me say that, ultimately, there are only two sides: Light and Darkness. Take the political party, movement, or tendency you identify with. Privately, make two lists. Put on one side those you believe represent Light, and on the other those you believe represent Darkness. Then ask yourself one uncomfortable question: How do I really know? That question changes everything. We see conduct. We hear speeches. We observe alliances and public choices. These things matter, and we must exercise discernment. But we do not see the human heart. Scripture itself warns of people who see without perceiving and hear without understanding (Mark 4:12). That is why discernment must never become self-righteousness. If we claim to belong to the Light, our first responsibility is not to become better prosecutors of everybody else. It is to submit ourselves more completely to the Spirit of Truth, to examine our own motives, test what comes before us, reject evil, and hold firmly to what is good. Another danger is believing we can live indefinitely somewhere between Light and Darkness, changing sides according to tribe, friendship, political convenience, personal advantage, or the demands of the moment. Jesus Christ leaves us with a much harder standard: “Whoever is not with me is against me.” (Matthew 12:30) I increasingly believe we are living in spiritually consequential times, the End Times, as defined by Biblical prophecies. That makes careless judgment dangerous, but it also makes complacency dangerous. This is a season for repentance, discernment, courage, and deeper alignment with God. So before asking where another politician stands, where another party stands, or even where another movement stands, perhaps the more searching question is: Where do I stand, and what in the way I live proves it? Truth does not bend itself around our politics, our friendships, our ambitions, or our preferences. We must align ourselves with Truth. Watch the full interview here:

Several times, I've been asked if I have left politics. The plain answer is No. I have not abandoned politics. But my purpose in politics goes beyond party affiliation: it is about changing the mindset of the individuals who make up both the leadership and followership of our country. In this excerpt from a recent interview, I address the question squarely, and also discuss why we must work on the individuals that make up society - you and me. Discernment must never become self-righteousness. If we claim to belong to the Light, our first responsibility is not to become better prosecutors of everybody else. It is to submit ourselves to the Spirit of Truth, examine our own motives, and hold firmly to what is good. So before asking where another politician or party stands, perhaps the more searching question is: Where do I stand, and what in the way I live proves it? Truth does not bend itself around our politics, friendships, or ambitions. It is simply true. Watch the full interview here:

Sometimes, we judge one another too quickly, especially in politics. We judge by appearances, by what we have heard, by the camp someone belongs to, or by conclusions formed long before we knew the whole story. So how would I like to be judged? Not by my silence or my associations, but by whether the way I live matches the Truth I say I stand for, and only once the whole story is known. I always hold myself to the same standards. Conduct and public choices matter, and we must exercise discernment. But we should also retain the humility to recognise that we do not know another person's heart, motives or complete story. Truth does not bend around our politics, friendships or ambitions, and we must align ourselves with it. Watch the full interview here:

This weekend, I joined dignitaries, family and friends in Rivers State to celebrate the life of Dame Ezinne Mary Orduah Amaechi, beloved mother of the former Governor of Rivers State and former Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, as she was laid to rest. Dame Amaechi lived a life marked by faith, grace, strength and devotion to family. Hers was the kind of quiet but enduring influence that continues to speak through the lives of those she raised, served and inspired. My heartfelt condolences go to the entire Amaechi family, and especially to my senior brother and friend, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, at this difficult time. May they find strength in the beautiful memories she leaves behind and consolation in the knowledge that a life lived in faith does not end, but returns to its Creator. May the gentle soul of Dame Ezinne Mary Orduah Amaechi rest in perfect peace, and may God grant her family the grace and fortitude to bear her passing. VCO

My dear friends and supporters, I want to personally update you on today’s APC governorship primary election in Anambra. While the exercise unfortunately started more than seven hours behind schedule, I’m pleased to report that the process is now progressing smoothly across the state. These delays, though frustrating, will not deter our focus or diminish our strong position in this race. To all our loyal supporters, I urge you to remain calm and composed. There is absolutely no need for tension or anxiety - we have built a formidable grassroots movement that cannot be shaken by logistical challenges. Stay vigilant, but conduct yourselves peacefully as true ambassadors of our Valiant movement for a better and brighter Anambra. This is just another test of our resolve, and I know we will emerge stronger. Keep the faith, stay vigilant, and trust that our vision for a transformed Anambra remains unstoppable. Together, we will succeed! Ka Anambra Chawapu — Valentine Ozigbo

At The Valiant Movement, we are on a mission to raise men and women whose character can be trusted long before their ambition is tested. One truth I keep returning to is this: a nation does not change because one person rises. It changes when the consciousness of its people rises. That is why The Valiant Movement exists—not to pursue offices or titles, but to build a living structure of courage, character, and accountability across our nation. To everyone who travelled from different parts of the country to be part of The Valiant Gathering 2026, I am deeply grateful. You are heroes. Words cannot adequately express how inspired I am by your sacrifice, commitment, and belief in a better Nigeria. But as we agreed, the real work begins now—in our communities, in our conversations, and in the daily choices that shape culture, influence lives, and ultimately build nations. Let us rise with courage, build with character, and serve with conviction. The future we seek will not be given to us. We must become the people capable of creating it. #ValentineOzigbo #TheValiantMovement #CourageToLead

Wake up Ndi Anambra! The time has come to critically assess the results of your tax money and the performance of the “Solution” Governor. After two years, it is time to exercise your duties as a citizen, the duty to assess the state of your roads, the economy, security, human capital development indices and many more, in Anambra State. It is time to ask Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo if he has kept to the promises made in his manifesto and during his campaign. Wake up Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, after 2 years of grace, it is time to be held accountable. Ndi Anambra, embark on this journey with me, as we evaluate the results of the last two years of governance in the #WakeUpSeries. I will be releasing a series of videos where I’ll critically analyze the state of our home, under the current government. Stay tuned as we pursue integrity, transparency and accountability. #WakeUpSeries #AnambraState #KaAnambraChawapu #VCOFoundation #VCO

Dear Elon Musk I recently watched clips from an interview in which you shared your thoughts about the future. One statement particularly caught my attention: your suggestion that in ten years, by around 2036, money may no longer matter in the way it does today. If that is truly your conviction, then I have a challenge for you: live it. You have amassed extraordinary wealth. If wealth will become less significant in the future, then perhaps the greatest use of it is now—while it can still profoundly shape humanity's future. I encourage you to commit a meaningful portion of your wealth every year to solving problems that will outlive all of us. May I offer one place to begin: Africa. Africa has given immeasurably to the development of the modern world. For centuries, her people, her resources, and her potential have fueled the rise of global powers, yet she remains home to some of the world's deepest developmental challenges. As a son of Africa, you have a unique opportunity to help rewrite that story. And if I may be even more specific, I would point to Nigeria—Africa's most populous nation and arguably the country whose transformation would have the greatest ripple effect across the continent. My appeal is not for charity or traditional aid. We have had decades of those. My appeal is for something far more enduring: help us build systems. Help us create the governance, institutions, technology, and constitutional framework that can unlock Nigeria's potential and make the nation efficient, accountable, and sustainably prosperous. Imagine committing $50 billion annually toward long-term transformation, with a meaningful portion dedicated to supporting a peaceful restructuring and institutional renewal of Nigeria. Such an investment would not simply change one country; it could alter the trajectory of an entire continent. If this vision resonates with you, I would welcome the opportunity to share a practical framework for how such a transformation could be responsibly designed and implemented. History remembers those who accumulated wealth. It reveres those who used it to transform civilizations. May God grant you wisdom as you consider the legacy you wish to leave. My name is Valentine Ozigbo, Founder and Convener of The Valiant Movement—a non-partisan movement committed to building a generation of ethical leaders and responsible citizens under the banner of Courage. Character. Service.

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.
