Madumere worn-in as Imo deputy gov
Prince Eze Madumere, was, Saturday, sworn-in as new Imo State Deputy Governor, by the state Chief Judge, Justice Benjamin Njemanze at the Sam Mbakwe Extended Executive Council Chambers of Government House, Owerri.
The event had in attendance, several dignitaries, including the President, Customary Court of Appeal, Justice Pius Okpara, lawmakers and traditional rulers.
The
state governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, charged the deputy governor, that “in this job, you must hate the idea of
primitive accumulation wealth, as well as be guided that this job must end one
day.”
Noting
that swearing-in of the new deputy governor was ordained by God, Okorocha,
meantime, expressed regret that he lost his former deputy, Sir Jude Agbaso.
“It
is unfortunate that I lost my former deputy, Sir Agbaso. It is unfortunate that
what happened had to happen. However, I wish him well,” the governor said.
Responding,
Prince Madumere said: “Circumstance have today made me the Deputy Governor.
Governor Okorocha has for long remained my mentor. My task as Deputy Governor
is easy because I am an apostle of the rescue mission.”
He
promised to continue being a humble servant, adding that he could not afford
the luxury of disappointing the government and people of Imo State.
