… Sources say he might join PDP to run for Governor
By Iheanyi Enwerem
Former Deputy Governor of Imo State, Prince Eze Madumere, has formally resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), ending his long-standing association with the ruling party.
In a letter dated March 17, 2026, addressed to his ward chairman in Mbaitoli Local Government Area, Madumere said his decision followed “deep personal reflection” on his political journey, noting that it had become necessary to explore new paths.
Sources close to the former deputy governor indicate that he may be heading to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), where he is expected to declare his intention to contest the governorship seat of Imo State.
It would be recalled that Madumere had, in 2018, declared his ambition to run for the governorship under the APC, a bid that did not materialise as the party’s coalition structure favoured the emergence of incumbent governor, Hope Uzodimma, as its candidate.
Despite his exit, Madumere expressed appreciation to party members for years of collaboration and urged continued cordial relations in the collective interest of national development.
