Ex-Imo State Governor Emeka Ihedioha recently paid a courtesy visit to Governor Alex Otti of Abia State, the sole governor elected under the Labour Party banner.
In a social media post, Ihedioha shared images from his visit to the Government House in Umuahia. “Had the pleasure of meeting my esteemed brother and friend, Governor @alexottiofr, at his residence in Isialangwa,” he wrote. “Our discussion was cordial, and I commend his remarkable achievements in Abia State.”
This visit follows Ihedioha’s recent resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). In his resignation letter, he cited a misalignment between his values and the party’s current direction.
Despite his departure from the PDP, Ihedioha remains committed to fostering democracy and good governance in Nigeria. He emphasized his contributions to the party’s growth since its inception in 1998.
However, Ihedioha expressed dissatisfaction with the PDP’s recent trajectory. He lamented its inability to address internal reforms, adhere to regulations, and provide effective opposition to 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,” he wrote.
“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 acknowledging the difficulty of his decision, Ihedioha stated that it was necessary. He remains open to serving the advancement of democracy and good governance in Nigeria. CONTINUE READING
