The 24th day of March 1965 literally became a blessed day for people of Mbutu, Aboh Mbaise Local Government Area. If there were a true seer, the birth of Chukwuemeka Nkem Ihedioha would have warranted an outstanding ancestral holy-ritual to celebrate the birth of a born ruler, a leader extraordinary. 
From mere speculation, I am compelled to reason that the Town School Mbutu, SDA Primary School, Abule Oja, Yaba, Lagos State, St. Ephraim’s Secondary School, Owerrinta and University of Lagos were the right schools for the born leader as such. Having a Bachelors Degree in Food Science and Technology which has no connotation to political definition is an undisputed conclusion and enough to believe there was a hidden green cap on his head at birth. 
Truly, his degree in the field of Hospitality has a significance effect in his personality through the reflection of his open mind and concern for humanistic welfare. 
As worthy, his outstanding performance as press secretary to the Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 1992 was the definition of his early leadership; which thereafter landed him another opportunity as chief press secretary to Deputy Senate President. When the military took the center stage, he retired to his communication practice as Chief Executive Officer, First Page Communication. He became the director of Publicity of the newly formed Peoples Democratic Movement, the purveyor of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party in 1998. 
Hon. Emeka Nkem Ihedioha is truly a God sent to the people of Imo State. His experience as a Financial Manager, a qualification gained at the great Stanford University, and Leadership Certificate from Harvard Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University is an extended confirmation of his credibility. 
As a special assistant to the Presidential Adviser  on Utilities, he was found worthy. As a special assistant to the President of Senate on Media and Publicity he worked as an expert. As a special assistant to the Vice President on Political Matters he was found worthy. 
His emergence as a member of House of Representative was the confirmation of the renaissance of his kingship. Being a deputy speaker and speaker of House of Representative respectively is a remarkable point to reckon. A leader that has tasted all-round administrative and political position is what is needed to bring a possible renaissance in Imo State. His legislative engagements from 2003 to 2015 is worthy of note. His numerous awards from different organizations is an extended definition of his good heart; which led to his adoption by the South Eastern Nigeria Citizens in Diaspora for Good Governance as the most suitable and reliable candidate to revive Imo as a democratic state. 
Hon. Emeka Ihedioha has demonstrated a remarkable point in taking electioneering campaign to another level by reaching every corners of the state, recognizing both big and small, know and unknown detractors. His simplicity and loyalty is non to all. 

His love for the youth is another point of consideration. He is both accessible and assessable. I enjoin the good people of Imo State to collectively adopt this intellectual guru, Hon. Emeka Nkem Ihedioha, a man with leadership acumen and administrative charisma as Governor of Imo State without sentiments. He is an archetype of no type, and a pious candidate to lead Imo to the promise land.
