Former Imo State Governor, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, has appointed Martins Ori as his new Chief Press Secretary (CPS).
Ori brings a wealth of journalism experience to the role, having spent nearly a decade at The Sun newspapers in various capacities, including Assistant Editor for Sports, Education, and Investigation/Features. Prior to that, he served as South East Bureau Chief for Hallmark newspaper.
In 2021, Ori moved to News Echo newspaper as Managing Editor. He later co-founded Oriental Newspaper, a weekly tabloid based in Owerri, Imo State, alongside Afam Echi.

Ori’s appointment comes amid speculation that Ihedioha, who recently left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), may join the Labour Party (LP). His campaign outfit, Rebuild Imo Movement, has reportedly announced plans to merge into the LP after consultations with 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi and Abia State Governor Alex Otti.
Ihedioha’s departure from the PDP stemmed from his belief that the party had failed to provide “credible opposition” to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). However, he has reaffirmed his commitment to advancing democracy and good governance in Nigeria.
