By Iheanyi Enwerem
Former Deputy Governor of Imo State, His Excellency Prince Eze Madumere, has formally declared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is now his rightful political home, affirming his commitment to the party’s mission of reclaiming and repositioning Imo State.
Madumere made the declaration during a grand reception held in his honour and other sons and daughters of Imo State who rejoined PDP at the Party Secretariat in Owerri, where he was welcomed by party leaders and supporters following his defection.
According to him, his decision to join the PDP was borne out of conviction and a desire to contribute meaningfully to the party’s growth and success in the state.
“I was in the wrong place before; PDP is the right place for me. We are here to add value. We have a mission, and that mission is to lead our people to the promised land,” he stated.
He commended the leadership of the party, including members of the National Working Committee, for the warm reception, noting that the show of unity within the PDP is a strong indication of its readiness to take over governance in Imo.
Madumere further charged party faithful to return to their respective wards and intensify grassroots mobilization, emphasizing his political philosophy of “operation deliver your booth” as a strategy for electoral victory.
“This is the time to go back and deliver our booths. Let us hold hands together and rebuild the party for success,” he added.
The former deputy governor’s entry into the PDP is expected to strengthen the party’s structure in Imo State ahead of future political contests.
Earlier in his speech the National Secretary of the party, Sen. Samuel Anyanwu, tasked the newly members to go to their ward and register not less than 1000 people, while assuring them that in the next few weeks PDP will welcome more people.
In his address the Deputy National Chairman of PDP(North), Alhaji Yusufu Akirikwen, who represented the National Chairman, commended the decampees for joining the party, stressing that PDP has a larger umbrella to accommodate all.
