Former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Emeka Ihedioha is in distress over the resignation of spokesperson of his immediate political structure 'Rebuild Imo Movement'.

The resignation of Hon. Meekam Mgbenwelu is linked to the Supreme Court nullification of the Senatorial primaries of PDP for Imo West (Orlu zone) that produced Jones Onyereri as candidate.

In his resignation letter obtained by newsmen in Owerri, the state capital, Hon Meekam Mgbenwelu maintained it would amount to double tragedy for the people of Imo West Senatorial district (Orlu zone) if he continued to take refuge in the political camp of former Imo Governor Ihedioha after he (Ihedioha) deliberately masterminded the removal of 'my brother', Hon Onyereri, whom he described as the people's choice.

Meekam said: 'I can't be part of a system that aided injustice to Orlu zone where i hail from and Imo people at large'.

He wondered how Ihedioha could have the face to seek the support of his people when he has sworn never to allow us have a Senator of PDP...
