Nigerian business mogul, Valentine Ozigbo, has secured another victory as the Supreme Court of Nigeria has declared him the authentic candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the November 6 governorship election in Anambra State.

A press statement by the Ozigbo media team states that the apex court, in a judgement delivered at the Supreme Court complex in Abuja on Thursday, October 21, 2021, threw out all the challenges to Ozigbo's candidacy and awarded a damage of N5 million against "meddlesome interloper" Senator Ugochukwu Uba. 

The panel of justices, led by His Lordship, Justice Inyang Okoro, affirmed the decision of the Court of Appeal, Awka Division, delivered on September 3, 2021, which declared Ozigbo the authentic governorship candidate of the PDP. 

Mr Ozigbo was present at the Supreme Court, Thursday, along with the former governor of the state, Mr Peter Obi, and Senate Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, where they, along with the team of lawyers that handled the case, addressed the press.
