Charles Ezekwem, who recently resigned his position as the Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party of Imo State, has disclosed that the reason he resigned was due to some conspiracy to disgrace him out of office after the judgement of the Supreme Court judgment which announced Hope Uzodinma as the duly elected governor of the state. According to him, he had to resign in other to protect his integrity and his political career.
Ezekwem revealed this during an interview with newsmen in Owerri, the capital of Imo State, on Tuesday.
He said
“I was treated like a stranger in a house I was supposed to be the head. The state secretary will fix a meeting in government and just send a text when I was supposed to be the one who should instruct him to fix a meeting.
“I didn’t resign because of my welfare as the party chairman. I resigned to save my political career. They wanted to remove me before my tenure expires in August. They wanted another person to be in charge of LGA congress in April. As a member of the NEC, I addressed my resignation letter to the national chairman of the PDP.
“Gerald Irona, who was the deputy governor to Emeka Ihedioha, told my people that as long as they are following me, they will never get any appointment in government. After I worked very hard to install a governor in Imo State after many years of opposition I was treated like a stranger. There was nothing they were doing in the government I knew.

“I revived the party in Imo State and preached the message of free-and-fair primary. Imo people know and saw what I did but I was left out of everything they were doing in government.”
