Prince Eze Madumere: A Right Foundation To Kick-Start A Future

By IKECHUKWU GILBERT

So much sacrifices attached to one man; some may call him names, but most paramount on his mind is an undying love for Imo through the heart of a most adorable leader and mentor, OwelleRochas Okorocha. Anything to see to the success of his boss means everything to him. At odds point he wriggles past it, always getting answers that end up useful to the course of building a new and better Imo state!

Prince Eze Madumere is not like the rest; under lock and key in the safest part of his mind is keptthe ladder of leadership handed down to him by his mentor. Thoughts of which motivates thedriving force and unquestionable loyalty that continue to characterize and trail his blazing profile as a Deputy. Many may attempt to downsize his qualities as Owelle’s Deputy, true to the words, he is just more than a mere assistant to the Imo state Governor.

He is a confidant, a shield and a most reliable Adviser to the Governor! Emitting from the Deputy Governor are sweats thatdefine a man’s level of work on an ever so demanding political pedestal yet achieving so much to the delight of his boss and the Imo people!

The building process to the recently concluded 2015 polls was no different. Madumere was yet again his sacrificial self, conveying his never say never spirit into a stretched effort that produced a premeditated victory. He knew it was coming; he only needed to put the right machineries on ground to avert the unexpected. Guess the greatest undoing of Owelle’s opponents wasunderestimating the force expected from the Governor’s deputy, as he happened to be a game changer!

Focused on achieving election success, the Imo state Deputy Governor closed the door to frivolities, telling all who came around to let him be, mandating them to go deliver their booths. Being on his toes, he drove men and women to their toes, as many were inspired by his magnanimous leadership purposefulness to support the Owelle/Madumere ticket. The characteristic of the Imo state Deputy Governor changed to reveal the resilience and thickness of a man’s skin to the disillusioned advances of the PDP! Though his dedicated work towards theelection victory did come with its own scars, the Mbeiri-born Prince refused to be intimidated instead increased a determination that finally saw APC coast to victory!

Analytically from the home front, prior to the 2015 general elections, Prince Madumere was way ahead of others in preparations. Realizing the need to start early he instituted the Owerri zonal meeting, which its venue was at his official residence in Owerri. Beyond that, he ensured that all hands were on deck. Assignments were created and given to people in mobilizing the electorates. While his boss, Owelle Rochas Okorocha was away, he led the State wide campaign, which its impact cannot be over emphasized!

In his Federal Constituency, Mbaitoli-Ikeduru, the number two citizen designed a marshal plan to ward off enemies. Realizing that every politics is local, he directed everyone to now relocate to their hometowns so as to handle objections created by the propaganda from the opposition.Mbaitoli was littered with land mines as PDP and other opposition parties fielded candidates from virtually every kindred. This was one mountain that seemed insurmountable but Madumereas a team player led the deadliest onslaught against the army of opposition and got them drawn in the political Mediterranean sea!

Currently aiding his post-election walk is a walking stick, though he had a choice; he preferred tostand to it! Like the proverbial saying: “if you claim to have worked so hard with no perspiration, you have not started”. Though Madumere came out scathed, the placating nature of victory was enough balm to sooth whatever pain incurred from the volatility of the elections. In quote, he said: if it would mean I lose my leg for us to win the elections, I would!

To describe the Owelle/Madumere partnership as the best Governor and Deputy Team ever in the history of Imo state can also be likened to calling Prince Eze Madumere the most active Deputy ever to be produced in the annals of Imo history. The no holds bar relationship betweenOwelle and his Deputy enables so much love propagation for these two respectively, giving room to a double-faceted structure coming together to form one indivisible political structuredreaded by the opponents and loved by the people!

Quietly he continues to penetrate the psyche of the people with his good efforts. Not playing to the gallery, Madumere keeps engaging his capacity as the Imo state Deputy Governor to touch lives and ensure that the Governor’s dream for the Imo people is realized! Yes, the electionshave come and gone, but this term begins the germination process of a man’s seed! Thefoundation has been laid, now the building process starts; a brighter future indeed it is! Reward for hard-work is more hard-work! Today’s return of rescue mission will justify what happens in 2019! God bless Prince Eze Madumere, God bless Owelle Rochas Okorocha, and God bless Imo state!!!
