Former Imo State Governor, Emeka Ihedioha, has announced his withdrawal from the Peoples Democratic Party, governorship primaries in the state.
In a letter dated March 27, 2023, addressed to the office of the National Chairman of the party, Ihedioha said, “As I turned 58 years last Friday, March 24, I had cause to reflect on so many things, including the state of the Peoples Democratic Party.
“Having been a member since formation in 1998, I align myself with the request made by our state chapter to the National Working Committee, for a consensus choice of candidate regarding the 2023 governorship primaries.
“In the interest of harmony and unity of the party, I have elected to make the personal sacrifice of withdrawing from further participation in the processes leading to the emergence of the gubernatorial candidate.”
“I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity to have served my various constituencies both as a legislator and governor. I am also proud of the positive impact I made, particularly in the seven months I served as the Governor of Imo State.”
