Last week, a former governor of the state, Emeka Ihedioha announced his exit but did not state his new political family.

Ozurigbo said his resignation is as a result of incompatible differences within the party.

He said, “I have come to that decisive moment I had never wished, as I am constrained by circumstances defined by hard truths, incompatible differences within the PDP party and after due consultations with stakeholders to inform you that, I have resigned my membership of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)”.

Ozurigbo didn’t announce the party he will be joining.
