Ihedioha: A man and His core Values

Ihedioha believes in COLLABORATION, collaboration is a core value in leadership, you need to partner with the people to identify their wants. Ihedioha’s mantra has remained unchanged on partnering with the people, especially for rural development.

LEADERSHIP as described by Achebe is the major problem with our society. The failure of leadership doesn’t mean that everybody has failed, it means that the people have failed in identifying the real leaders among them. Rather than choose a contented man, we go for greedy beings, rather than choose a disciplined man, we go for those who are immoral. An immoral leader can not think morally. Morality in leadership should be appreciated. Serving the nation for 12 years and till today without a trace of fraud is an ideal definition of morality, contentment and character. Ihedioha believes in Leadership as a process of transformation, reformation and restoration.

Without being contented, there is no way you can appreciate ACCOUNTABILITY. Accountability to the people requires that the people must know the cost of projects done for them. They should have access to them and know how their allocation is spent. Accountability has remained a cardinal core value of Emeka Ihedioha.

A leader must be RESPONSIVE. Responsive in attending to the People’s needs. A responsive leader is an ideal leader. Ihedioha will deliver a people oriented government where every sector of the state will be touched. This will happen through regular response to feedbacks from the people.

INTEGRITY is a scarce commodity in today’s politics. Politicians come with all kinds of promises only to fulfill non when elected. Ihedioha changed the narrative long time ago. A man who will not promise what He can not do and can not deviate from what He said He will do. Ihedioha has reminded consistent in any battle He engages, no matter how impossible it may seem. That’s the true character of a courageous man. Integrity is a part of life to Chief Emeka Ihedioha.

Another scarce commodity experienced in the business of leadership these days is TRANSPARENCY. Transparency means consultation, transparency means collaboration, transparency means accountability, transparency means responsiveness, transparency means Ihedioha. Ihedioha’s invaluable track record is equal to the task to restore the dignity of any State and country. With Ihedioha, there will be transparency in employment, there will be transparency in all sectors, there will be transparency in Governance.

A government must engage in things that will YIELD productivity in the state. The death of our moribund industries is alarming. ADAPALM, Avutu Poultry, Standard Shoes Industry and many others are enough to liberate our state from the unavoidable dependency on the federal allocation. Ihedioha believes that the state must be productive, Ohaji can be serving the entire state with garri together with Ngor Okpala, Mbaise can invest in other agricultural products, Okigwe and other sides in Orlu can also focus in the production of other agricultural products. The state will make it in form of exhibition annually to encourage the most productive areas. This will enhance development in agriculture, this will install the spirit of competition and hard work which Imo people are known for. Ihedioha’s resolve to return Imo to the basics shows how prepared he is for leadership. Yielding therefore is a through representation of Ihedioha.


CLARITY is a product of collaboration, Collaboration upgrades Leadership, Leadership requires accountability, accountability strengthens consultations, consultations encourages responsiveness, responsiveness builds integrity, integrity sustains Transparency, transparency yields a better result. Ihedioha will at all times clarify the people on its policies and plans for them.


“You don’t hurt a generation because you want to do a project for them. While building a road in my community, we had to pause the road for a good period of time because we needed to pay compensation to those whose buildings were along the road, relocate those that wanted to be relocated before demolishing the illegal structures. That to me is one of the sacrifices a leader should do for his people”, Ihedioha noted while addressing the people in one of his consultation visits with the members of the PDP across the state.

Ihedioha is a proper leader, compassionate and trustworthy, tested and He delivered. Together! We shall Rebuild Imo.
