OWERRI, Imo, Nigeria – Former Governor of Imo State, Mr. Emeka Ihedioha has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
In his resignation letter submitted to his Mbutu Ward, Aboh, Mbaise Local Government, Ihedioha said he has contributed his quota to the transformation and development of the PDP since 1998 as a founding member.
He said he had taken pride in the fact that PDP will always look inward for internal reforms and provide credible leadership for the people.
While accepting that he has benefitted from the party at various levels, he said regrettably in recent times, the party has taken on a path that is at variance with his personal beliefs.
“Despite my attempts to offer counsel, the party is sadly no longer able to carry on internal reforms, enforce its own rules or offer credible opposition to the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC.
“It is in the light of the forgoing that I am compelled to offer my resignation from the People’s Democratic Party, effective immediately”, he said, stressing that while the decision as difficult to take, he believes it remains the right one.
“Despite this resignation, I will always be available to offer my services towards deepening of democracy and good governance in Nigeria”, he said.
