Meekam Resigns As Imo State Spokesman, Breaks Ties With Iheodioha

Published

on

Former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha, is troubled by the resignation of the spokesperson for his political organization, “Rebuild Imo Movement”.

Meekam served as Commissioner for Information Technology under Ihedioha’s seven months short-lived administration.

He was appointed the spokesperson of the Rebuild Imo Movement three months ago, a political structure of Ihedioha aimed at re-electing the sacked Governor.

The resignation of Honorable Meekam Mgbenwelu is said to be connected to the Supreme Court’s nullification of the Senatorial primaries of the PDP for Imo West (Orlu zone) which resulted in Jones Onyereri being selected as the candidate.

In his resignation letter obtained by journalists in Owerri, the state capital, Honorable Meekam Mgbenwelu stated that it would be a double tragedy for the people of Imo West Senatorial district (Orlu zone) if he continued to be associated with the political camp of former Imo Governor Ihedioha, whom he accuses of deliberately orchestrating the removal of “my brother”, Hon Onyereri, who he claims is the people’s choice.

Meekam said: “I cannot be a part of a system that perpetuates injustice in Orlu zone, where I come from, and for the people of Imo as a whole.”

He questioned how Ihedioha could expect the support of his people when he had pledged never to allow the election of a senator of PDP extraction in the upcoming 2023 general election.

Meekam added: “Jones Onyereri is my brother, a beloved and trusted son, every man and woman in Orlu zone across party lines are crying as a result of this act of wickedness and injustice aided by Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha. No, I can’t be with him anymore, This is an act of extreme wickedness. I never knew that Ihedioha is evil, vindictive, selfish and greedy…no no no, I am done with him!,” Meekam Mgbenwelu exclaimed.
