Imo Former Deputy Governor Madumere bracing up for governorship race
Prince Eze Madumere, the former Deputy Governor of Imo State, is gearing up for the 2027 governorship race.
Madumere, an American-trained technocrat, served under Governor Rochas Okorocha and has garnered experience in governance.
He’s now positioning himself as the ideal candidate to succeed Governor Hope Uzodimma.
Madumere has outlined a blueprint for governing Imo State, focusing on sustainable development and economic growth.
He believes his leadership qualities and vision will take the state to greater heights.
Madumere insists it’s the turn of the Owerri zone (Imo East Senatorial district) to produce the next governor, citing the zone’s historical support for other zones.
He’s calling for unity, equity, and fairness among stakeholders in the state.
Madumere’s plan includes creating a conducive environment for businesses to thrive, restoring the yearnings and aspirations of the people, and introducing policies for sustainable development.
Some believe Madumere’s alignment with Uzodimma’s developmental agenda makes him the ideal candidate to continue the governor’s reforms and projects while introducing fresh ideas.
Madumere’s bid for the governorship seat faces potential challenges, including Competition.
He’ll likely face stiffness from other aspirants, including those with strong political backing or established followings.
The delicate balance of power between Imo’s three senatorial zones (Owerri, Orlu, and Okigwe) may influence the outcome of the election.
Madumere’s experience as Deputy Governor and administrator could be an asset in his campaign.
His blueprint for governance emphasizes economic growth, sustainable development, and social welfare.
Some see him as the ideal candidate to succeed Uzodimma, given his alignment with the governor’s developmental agenda.
His initial battle to recover the soul of Imo from his former boss, Rochas Okorocha may be the reason he may be considered for the plum job.
