However the former Imo governor regretted that in recent times, the party has taken on a path that was at variance with his personal beliefs.

Ihedioha revealed that he was compelled to offer his resignation from the People’s Democratic Party with immediate effect because of those issues.
The rumors of his eventual resignation have been a long time coming with speculations over where his political boat will berth.
Close associates had revealed that he would make a political move after the memorial service of his mother which took place last Sunday at Mbutu, his hometown.
