Former Governor of Imo State, Hon Emeka Ihedioha, has quit the Peoples Democratic party, PDP.
Ihedioha, a former speaker of House of Representatives, stated his resignation in a letter to the Chairman of the party in his Mbutu ward.
“Regrettably, in recent times, the party has taken on a path that is at variance with my personal beliefs”
“It is in the light of the foregoing, that I am compelled to offer my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party effective immediately” part of the letter stated.
Last year, Ihedioha had dropped his governoship ambition, withdrawing from the party’s governorship primaries.
He had cited undue advantage accorded Samuel Anyanwu, National Secretary of the party, in the governorship primary as major reasons for his withdrawal from the contest.
Last month, his supporters and loyalists in the Rebuild Imo Organization called on him to dump the PDP for the Labour Party, LP.
