Deputy Governor of Imo State, Eze Madumere has remarried. He did at the weekend in his village where he called on Nigerians not to take the grace of God for granted, and that human knowledge alone cannot take people to their destined height.
At the thanksgiving ceremony of Madumere’s wedlock with the wife, Chioma Madumere (nee Oyekaba) at Chapel of Praise of Anglican Communion in Lake Malinda, Achi-Mbieri, Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo State the deputy governor was full of appreciation to God.
He said: “I have always sought the face of God in all my life endeavours and God has been directing me per second, per hour. He has been my fortress and fortress. I have also passed through challenges in all facets of life. In all these God preserved me and gave me opportunities to rise above all challenges. This is the reason. His amazing shall remain a ceaseless song in my mouth all the days of my life and he has always made me a conqueror.”
Madumere also charged Nigerians to always seek the face of God in all projects, indicating that with this, one would always make the right choice. “We must take out time to reflect and watch out for God’s divine direction in all issues of life,” he said.
In his sermon, the Chaplain, Venerable (Dr.) Sunday Iherue enjoined Christians to always attach value to themselves how they carry themselves, saying that value attached to oneself is the perception of the people.
Iherue said: “You must not look down on yourself. You must be conscious of the presence of God in all you do. Don’t engage yourself in trying to please all, please God and all other things will fall in line.”
According to the Chaplain, pleasers of men will end up not pleasing anybody while encouraging faithful to always bear in mind that God will always protect and uplift the righteous who follows God in prayers and supplication.
A happy wife of the Deputy Governor, Chioma expressed gratitude to God for grace upon the family, praying that “their marriage will continue to be an epitome of love and abundant blessing.”
According to a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to MAdumere, Uche Onwuchekwa said “Chioma Rosemary Madumere (nee Onyekaba) is a multi-talented, industrious award winning writer, poet, novelist, Motivational Speaker, Brand Expert, Editor-in-Chief, All Times Global Magazine and the founder of Beauty and Brain Foundation.
