Former governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha, has announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a resignation letter addressed to the PDP chairman in Mbutu Ward, Aboh Mbaise Local Government Area of the state, Ihedioha cited a misalignment between his personal beliefs and the current trajectory of the main opposition party.
Despite his decision to step away from PDP, Ihedioha expressed his dedication to the advancement of democracy and good governance in the country.
Having been a member of the party since its inception in 1998, the former governor highlighted his significant contributions to the growth and evolution of the party.
However, Ihedioha lamented recent developments within the PDP, stating that it has deviated from its core principles.
He voiced concerns over the party’s inability to enact internal reforms, uphold its own regulations, and effectively oppose the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“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 the decision was difficult to take, I, however, believe that it is the right one. Despite this resignation, I will always be available to offer my services towards the deepening of democracy and good governance in Nigeria,” the letter concluded.
