A LEGACY THAT KEEPS GETTING STRONGER AT 51!

                     A LEGACY THAT KEEPS GETTING STRONGER AT 51!

“The beauty of life is ensconced in the hearts of those with the ability to comprehend a responsibility given; vigorously working, under the cover of an abundant grace, to ensure the acquisition of resources for a passionate handling of these responsibilities for the good of mankind”

The Imo state Deputy Governor, His Excellency, Prince Eze Madumere, a phenomenon! With a variety of admirable personality bouquet. He has over years as a political colossus succeeded in enacting his character into the warm embrace of the general populace, both within and outside Imo state. As Imo state Deputy Governor, the power that comes with it is mingled with Madumere’s uncommon humility, which ordinariness the Office, for the sake of accommodating perceived ordinary people in our society. Motivated by a desire to give instant audience to the plights of the people, especially considering the hyper-enterprising working nature of his boss.

Prince Eze Madumere, a man favored by chance, tenacity and the good-will of his boss, Owelle Rochas Okorocha. Who has from time memorial continued to keep faith with a man he prefers to call his political son. Massively contributing to the complete making of this great life, even as all the opportunities that have come his way seem enshrouded in the divine mercy of God!

Singing the song of this gallant UN-pretentious leader at a time like this is saying the least. The Prince of Mbaike deserves more than the eulogies that currently rent the air in celebration of God’s grace upon him with yet another year added to his age. The people-oriented projects that have characterized Imo state; students that have been giving the hope of a better future through free education; the less-privileged children, that now have a father in the duo of Rochas and Madumere. These and many more seeds of love and care for humanity, consistently stand as the connecting point between the out pour of the heavens and earth upon this man! Like the humorous local maxim says: “yawuruala, o no na site” (if he were to be a land, it’s in a good site). Coming just as Imolites would have wanted him, he comes in an even better pack! With a heart that keeps translating leadership into practicable and see able development, “seeing, they say is believing, abi”. Assisting Owelle extradites his comfort and privacy for the well being of the Imo people and the satisfaction of an equally workaholic boss!

Applying measures to meet with the exigencies of this difficult period reviews the amount of creativity in the leadership of a state. Something Imo state can boast of having in abundance in the leadership of Owelle and Madumere. The two heads have come to be “one” special force that breaks stubborn walls against the developmental interest of Imolites.

Social commentator’s analytic discretion should be applied in understanding that it is almost as difficult as the word itself to separate the two, Owelle and Madumere. The political Siamese marriage between father and son adheres this union. OwelleRochasOkorocha made Prince EzeMadumere, while Prince EzeMadumere makes OwelleRochasOkorocha! That is what the Prince of Mbaike kingdom can bring into a responsibility given, bringing his best! “God gives and God takes”. Something’s may have been taking from him. Like every human, over years he has had his fair share of the challenges of life. But in them all, like a strong-willed leader, he overcomes! Coming out stronger to administer creative leadership like never experienced!

For sure it’s no coincidence. As America is been celebrated, our admirable Deputy Governor is also been celebrated, “Greatness, they say, walk together”! At 51, like the Yankees would say: Imo, Youaint seen nothing yet! Prince EzeMadumere has only just started, the best is yet to come! God bless you Sir. Happy Birthday!
