He later teamed up with Afam Echi to co-found Oriental Newspaper, a weekly tabloid that circulates in the South East and based in Owerri, Imo State.
Recall that Ihedioha recently dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after more than two decades of membership.
He is yet to formally pitch his tent with any political party but indications are that he will eventually join the Labour Party (LP).
