Former governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha, has resigned his membership of the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
This was made known in his resignation letter which was addressed to the chairman of the party in Mbutu Ward, Aboh Mbaise Local Government Area of the state.
Ihedioha said his beliefs and that of the party are not on par with each other.
“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 added.
According to Ihedioha, having been a member of the party since its inception in 1998, he has contributed immensely to the growth and evolution of the party.
