On Thursday, a previous Imo State senator, Emeka Ihedioha, said the departure of individuals from the Imo State chapter of the People Groups Law-based Party (PDP) in the wake of his flight from the party was a vote of certainty in his administration.
Ihedioha, who uncovered this amid a meeting session on the Emerge News Channel program with PrimeTime, observed by our journalist, famous that he cleared out the PDP because of his expansive followership craving for him to lead an alter and revamp Imo State.
“He included that Nigerians not see the PDP as a party that might take over government at the national or state levels, focusing that administrators of the party were hard-headed and unwilling to thinking with suppositions that will put the party back on track.
Talking on his exit from PDP, Ihedioha said: It was bound to happen. So far the inclinations working within the party remained there, for very a few time, the caution shots were exceptionally clear, fair some time recently the decision, yes there were issues, but it makes sense that we get into the decision persuaded to recapture control at the government level and several states. But of course, a few things happened, and after the decisions, the issues came to the fore.
We called for the ought to address those issues, but instead of address those issues and a torrent of requests, what we saw was a encourage float to the wants of the individuals, which is exceptionally conflicting with the mission and vision of the establishing fathers of our party, which I would say, I had the benefit of being a establishing part right back in 1998, at that point in my capacity as the executive of the exposure of PDP. To see your party develop and now get to this plummet, and proceed on that way of an undesirable plunge, might crash you as a individual and after that the deliberate and of course your huge followership. So, I acted basically based on the wants of my huge followership and my bolster base back at domestic and broadly who felt the party had misplaced its bearing and there’s a require for us to produce ahead.
PDP had ceased displaying itself as a party that might inevitably frame government by their recent activities. It was obvious that Nigerians not see them as a party that might take over government at the national or state levels, legislative issues is discernment. Within the final governorship race within the state, which was our most dismal, PDP did not win one single LGA in Imo State; when I ran for office in 2019, we didnât have one single part within the House of Get together, but I driven the party to triumph, we won 13 seats within the Gathering and won the governorship race with near to 100,000 votes distinction with the major adversary. In 2023, we saw appalling execution and nothing was being done to cure the circumstance of the party.”
The ex-deputy Speaker of the House said that the party leaders were stubborn and unwilling to listen to ideas that could help the party.
He said that many people who are successful and political leaders resigned from the party after he did. He sees this as a sign that people have confidence in him and want to work together for progress.
He said that many important people left the party, like former government leaders, politicians, and other active members.
