Imo Indigenes in Diaspora, especially in the United Kingdom (UK), had resolved to support deputy governor, Prince Eze Madumere’s governorship ambition, describing him as the most qualified to succeed his boss, Governor Rochas Okorocha come 2019.
The group said this in a statement entitled “A clarion call on Prince Eze Madumere to contest for 2019 Imo State Governorship election signed by the President, Mr. Joseph Eke, General Secretary, Mr. Chukie Ajoku and the Publicity secretary, Mrs. Dean Akujobu.
The group which stated their reason for adopting Madumere as its choice for the 2019 governorship election predicated it on his wealth of experience in governance, private and public sectors, saying that the state needed a seasoned administrator already found in Madumere with proven democratic character. The statement reads; “We cannot afford to have an experimenting governor who may not appreciate the seriousness and the dire consequences of lack of effective governance.”
