He has also exhibited a rare passion and commitment towards achieving peace through his crisis resolution strategies. His ability to resolve Orsu-Obodo- ADDAX Oil crises, Irete-Nigeria Bottling Company age long crises have put him ahead of many. Prince Madumere, has also shown what to takes as a Deputy Governor to have a peaceful and cordial working relationship with his boss, the Governor through his humility and loyalty.'

However, Madumere's history with negotiation and crises management and resolution dates back over twenty years ago. He had resolved a matter in his immediate community of Ezi in Mbieri, which could caused bloody clash were it not his timely intervention. That effort gave birth to Prince Ee Madumere Unity Cup, which united thenYouths of the community and rallied round them and galvanized them to all stand for peaceful resolution.

It will be recalled that Archbishop of Anglican Church, Rev. Dr. Beneth Okoro had described Prince Eze Madumere, MFR, as the Best Deputy Governor Imo State has ever had. Prince Eze Madumere as well emerged the most recognized Deputy Governor in the South East on the Igbo online platform through a survey.

His exploit at demystifying power and political offices is well known. As the former Chief of Staff to Governor Okorocha, he was the most accessible Chief of Staff and has remained the most effective from the the survey so far conducted among the political appointees.

In retrospect, Prince Madumere was also honored with National Honours Award of Member of the Order of the Federal Republic (MFR) for his care for the down trodden, less privileged and contribution in enriching Nigeria's democracy for for standing to be counted even in the face of intimidation from a cruel government. He was also incarcerated on spurious claims under Ikedi Ohakim's administration. Today, he is known as the Mandela of Imo State.

For the love his people have for him, he was recognized as the Ogbuhuruzo of Mbaitoli. However, in all Prince Madumere has maintained that in all these he owes to God and Owelle Rochas Okorocha, Governor of Imo State.
