The former governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha, has officially renounced his membership in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Citing the party’s inability to carry out internal reforms and provide credible opposition, Ihedioha expressed disappointment with its recent trajectory.
“All these years, I have taken pride in the fact that the PDP is a party that will always look inward for internal reforms and provide credible leadership for the people, whether in power or outside power.”
“Regrettably, in recent times, the party has taken on a path that is at variance with my personal beliefs. Despite my attempt to offer counsel, the party is, sadly, no longer able to carry out internal reforms, enforce its own rules or offer credible opposition to the ruling All Progressives Congress.”
“It is in the light of the foregoing, that I am compelled to offer my resignation from the People’s Democratic Party effective immediately. While this decision was difficult to take, I, however, believe that it is the right one,” he stated.
While he did not specify which party he would join, Ihedioha remains committed to contributing to Nigeria’s democratic process and good governance.
“Despite this resignation, I will always be available to offer my services towards the deepening of democracy and good governance in Nigeria,” he concluded
