Chief Andrew Nwafor Ozigbo, the father of Valentine Ozigbo has been announced dead.
The death of the community leader was announced by his son on his official Facebook page on Monday, January 3.
He wrote: “Today, we lost a giant, a great leader, my hero, my mentor, the love of my mother’s life, the lion of the Ozigbo family, Chief Andrew Nwafor Ozigbo, my dear father.
“My father was everything to us. He was married to my mother for 66 years. He set an example on how to lead in the family and the community that is difficult to surpass.
“Our hearts are heavy. It is difficult to find the words to express our pain at my father’s passing. This is a significant blow to our family. Adieu, Papa.”
Valentine Ozigbo is a business leader and entrepreneur turned politician who ran for governor in Anambra state late last year.
Ozigbo, who contested under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has over 26 years of experience in the corporate world.
The PDP candidate was commended for running a decent campaign devoid of the regular political shenanigans associated with Nigeria’s politics.
