Kissinger Ikeokwu.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ikeokwu, a popular Owerri based legal professional cum politician until his letter of resignation from the position and party surfaced was the legal officer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Noted to be a strong ally of the former Governor of Imo State Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha, Ikeokwu had been Legal Adviser of PDP before Ihedioha and co-travellers moved to ADC.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Early this week, Ikeokwu from Isiala Mbano pulled out a surprise resignation letter from the party and position, thereby stunning the political space in Imo.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Though, his next designation in terms of party lining was not made public but there are indications his is heading to the ruling APC.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Trumpeta learnt of a possible realignment which will see him change party platforms to embrace APC.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The tone of his letter speaks volumes of not dumping partisan politics but changing platforms where he can be meaningful to the growth of the state.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Since the letter surfaced and became the subject of discussion in the state, ADC is yet to make an official statement, fueling speculation that Ikeokwu&#8217;s dumping of the party was a thunderbolt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p>ADC party officials are yet to react to the resignation of their Legal Adviser who once served as Campaign spokesperson of Rt Hon Ihedioha and his Rebuild Imo political structure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uneasy Calm in Imo ADC As Chieftain Dumps Party, State Exco Position, &nbsp; Members
