The gale of defections from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Southeast region and other disenchantments within its fold, might spell doom for the party in the zone in the coming days, writes LAWRENCE NJOKU, Southeast Bureau Chief.IHEDIOHA did not leave alone. Twenty-five other members of the party, who had served in various capacities at the zonal and state levels, joined him to quit the same day.THE resignation of these members from the Imo State chapter of the party was the height of the power struggle and silent ‘war’ over the control of the soul of the party in the state that started in 2020.IHEDIOHA’S resignation may not signal the end to the mass defection that has greeted the PDP in the Southeast in the past few months. Since the conclusion of the 2023 general election, the party has not fared well in the region. Those who were part of its success story, those who have gained mileage politically using the platform, soon realised that there was no future with it and are running into the All Progressives Congress (APC).
