Former Imo State governor, Emeka Ihedioha, has resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

In a letter addressed to the chairman of his Mbutu Ward, in Aboh Mbaise Local Government Area of Imo State, dated April 23, Mr Iheadioha said the party has taken a path that is at variance with his personal beliefs.

He lamented that the PDP has failed to offer credible opposition to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

According to him, the opposition party has deviated from its core principles and failed to carry out internal reforms and enforce its own rules.

The letter read: “Since 1998, I have contributed my quota to the development and transformation of the Peoples Democratic Party,PDP, as one of the founding members.

“All these years, I have taken pride in the fact that the PDP is a party that will always look inward for internal reforms and provide credible leadership for the people, whether in power or outside power. I have had the benefit of serving and benefiting from the party at various levels.

“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.”
