Deputy Governor of Imo state, Prince Eze Madumere has submitted his expression of interest and nomination forms for the office of the governor in the coming election.
He did Thursday morning in Abuja where he canvassed support from those interested in good governance.
His words:
“…THAT DIGNITY OF IMO PEOPLE MAY BE RESTORED
Today, I have come to submit my expression of interest and nomination forms to contest the governorship of Imo State under our great party, All Progressives Congress.
Believe me, it has been a long, long walk in search of true governance and true leadership to the good people of Imo State. I have spent 25 years in this business, humbly and loyally offering my best pieces of advice to lead our people through a progressive path. My best may not have been good enough because I was not in charge.
However, I have no regret threading this path because God’s ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. The time to change the narrative in my dear State for the better is now.
I believe with my cognate experience in corporate world, public sector and equipped with needed competence, I will turn around the political and socio-economic fortune of my people.
I have already laid down the foundation on the things we shall set out to achieve, captured in my seven point agenda, which will be unveiled in few days.
I am not in the governorship race because I have been treated unjustly by anyone. No. Not at all! Do not pity me for the onslaught here and there, including impeachment plots for standing for justice, equity, fair play and good governance. Please do not feel for me over unwarranted humiliations for standing with the people and saying no to oppressive policies because it should be the duty of every patriots to rise up against opression.
As an astute Administrator and experienced noble politician, I believe that with vast human and natural resources in the State, we do not have any business being at the lowest layer in the Comity of States. We shall not only make eloquent promises; we shall make promises that we can keep. I say so because I have integrity; and leadership without integrity is fraud.
So, I will be entering into a social contract with my people. I shall be appealing to the members of our great party, first to give me a chance; and then to the entire good people of Imo to join me in the Journey of Grace, where we shall all find fulfilments and our dignity restored.
God bless you!
