Emeka Ihedioha’s Exit From PDP Means The Party Is Now Dead In Imo State – Stanley Ekezie

Loyalists and political associates of the former governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha have come out to declare that with his exit, the Peoples Democratic Party in Imo State has gone into extinction.

A former ex-officio member of the South-East PDP, Stanley Ekezie recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the mass resignation of members after Ihedioha’s exit is an expression of total confidence in the leadership of the former governor whose integrity and democratic credentials endeared him to Imo people across party lines.

He added that Ihedioha’s decision to quit became necessary after deep reflection on the direction of the party.

His words, “It is also no longer news that in his letter of resignation, Ihedioha cited the failure of the PDP to offer credible opposition to the ruling All Progressives Congress, failure to carry out internal reforms, consistent drift from the ideals upon which the party was founded and the party’s inability to enforce its own rules and constitution as the major reasons for his exit. The decision became necessary after deep reflection on the direction of the party.

Everything was going well for the PDP in the state until some anti-democratic forces out of their selfish desire to disrupt the cohesion and strength of the party in Imo, decided to put a clog in the wheels of progress of the party.

The grandiose failure of the PDP NWC to follow due processes, even as it contravened its constitution in handling its affairs in Imo, made it inevitable that the PDP was inexorably headed for a self-destruct in the state.

We call on Imo citizens who share the same ideals and aspirations for our beloved Imo to join hands as we embark on this engaging democratic journey.”
