Ihedioha voiced concerns over the PDP’s inability to enact internal reforms, uphold its regulations, and effectively oppose the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Despite his efforts to offer counsel, Ihedioha felt that the party no longer aligns with his values and beliefs. He believes that his resignation is the right decision, although it was a difficult one.
Nevertheless, Ihedioha expressed his commitment to remain available to contribute to the deepening of democracy and good governance in Nigeria.
