The Deputy Governor of Imo State, Eze Madumere has given a hint on those who are the foundation members of Governor Rochas Okorocha’s political dynasty, describing his principal as a man of great vision.
Madumere made the stunning revelation on Monday, September 25 during a birthday rally in honour of Okorocha who turned 55 by the APC faithfuls, which held at Heroes Square, Owerri, Imo State.
Madumere pointed out that the foundation of the Owelle Rochas Okorocha-led government in Imo State began with Dr. Anyim Nyerere, the immediate past APC governorship candidate in Abia State in 2015, Ambassador Nonye Rajis and himself.
He stated that they have steadfastly served Okorocha for over two decades respectively. “Outside Governor Okorocha and his amiable wife, the office we occupy today began with these persons here. Dr. Anyim Nyerere, immediate past guber candidate of APC in Abia State, AmbassadorNonye Rajis, Nigerian Ambassador to Singapore for over four years and my humble self, your Deputy Governor.”
Madumere has always headed the political unit of Okorocha, Nyerere superintends over Rochas Businesses and Investment while Rajis manages Rochas Foundation and Colleges.
Speaking further, the deputy governor gave credit to the masses for Okorocha’s governorship victories in 2011 and 2015. He added that in 2011, there was no known political name. He used the opportunity to thank them, while and appealing for their continued support for Okorocha-led administration.
His words: “In 2011, we came and we conquered. We did not have big or any known name. We were rather appealing to people to join us. It is you the masses who made it possible. We remain grateful to you and I urge you all to continue to support Rescue Mission Government. Prior 2015 election, in his vision, he was the lone voice calling our people to join us in All Progressives Congress Party because he saw tomorrow. Many people called him names and today he has been proven right. What Governor Okorocha has done with new and smaller parties shows his acceptance by the people.”
Madumere also went on memory lane, bringing to alive Okorocha’s past ordeals in both air mishaps and road accidents. He attributed his survival to God’s grace. He added that God chose to keep Okorocha for a greater purpose, even as he pledged his continued undiluted loyalty with honesty.
He therefore wished Okorocha happy birthday and many more years of greater service to God and humanity.
Okorocha is also celebrating his birthday with less privileged children, five each from the 55 African countries.
