…Say PDP Not Recognizing Former Gov’s Sacrifices.
In a surprising turn of events that left even former Governor of Imo State, Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha, taken aback, members of his political family, Rebuild Imo Organization, have directed him to initiate plans to withdraw from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
During a recent meeting held in Owerri and attended by key members of Rebuild Imo, it was unanimously decided that Ihedioha should sever ties with PDP along with his extensive support base across Imo State.
The suddenness of this decision has left many wondering about the underlying reasons, as the Group has dispatched a delegation to Abuja to communicate this directive to Ihedioha directly.
The organization cited a perceived lack of appreciation and recognition for Ihedioha’s dedication and contributions to the growth of PDP since its inception, deeming it futile for him to continue his allegiance to the party given the circumstances.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the next steps for the Rebuild Imo followers, whether they will join another political party or establish a new one, the organization has urged its members to remain composed while awaiting feedback from their representatives in Abuja.
Efforts to reach Ihedioha for clarification on the situation or confirmation of his meeting with the emissaries from Rebuild Imo have been unsuccessful, adding to the intrigue surrounding these developments.
This development comes amid ongoing tensions within Imo PDP, particularly between Ihedioha’s loyalists and Senator Samuel Anyanwu, the National Secretary of the party. Ihedioha had previously set aside his gubernatorial ambitions for 2023 to maintain peace within Imo PDP.

However, the discontent among his supporters regarding the party’s internal dynamics seems to have reached a tipping point, leading to the call for a complete departure from PDP.
The coming weeks will likely bring clarity regarding Ihedioha’s response to his followers’ demands, whether he chooses to acquiesce to their wishes, pacify them and maintain his PDP affiliation, or face the prospect of a mass exodus from the party.
