.Madumere Says Destiny, Future Are In No Man’s Hands
By Uzoma Akobundu
Contrary to Governor Rochas Okorocha’s call on his Deputy to vie for Imo East Senatorial seat, Eze Madumere is going ahead to contest for the governorship of Imo State.
Madumere dropped the hint before a crowd of supporters at his country home, Achi-Mbieri, Mbaitoli local government area of Imo State on Sunday, February 25.
He drew inspiration from the importance of lent in the life of Christians, especially as it concerns the agony and betrayals the Lord Jesus Christ suffered before paying the ultimate sacrifice for redemption of man against eternal destruction, noting that the betrayal by the mortal man cannot be equated with what Jesus Christ went through.
In an emotion-laden voice, Madumere said that if Jesus Christ could be ill-treated by those he called his friends and was later betrayed by Judas, how much more a mere mortal like himself.
He gave an insight into his experience that was full of agony, betrayals, insults and molestation from those he has shown love, including those he nurtured to become relevant in life.
Like the Lord Jesus Christ, the deputy governor therefore submitted that he has chosen his path towards realising God’s given vision to better the lots of Imolites, explaining that his fate is in no man’s hand.
Meanwhile, the Chief Press Secretary to Madumere, Uche Onwuchekwa has been responding responding to the issue of whether his boss would be vying for the senate seat of Owerri zone going by Governor’s address on those that would join him in the Senate, saying he does not know about the said address.
But he said emphatically that senate can never be an option for his boss.
His words: “I have just heard this from you over our Governor’s pronouncement of those he wishes to join him in the Senate. I will surely verify this. From the little I know, I do not think Senate is an option. However, I know that in no distant time, political ambition of our respected, revered, competent and visionary Deputy Governor will be made known to the public. Until them, I implore you to pray for our Governor, his deputy and other leaders for God’s guidance and wisdom.”
Calls on Madumere to join the governorship race has continued to reverberate in Imo with groups and individuals singling him out as the most qualified for the governorship job.
They adduce reasons of experience, humility, administrative prowess and competence, and that his emergence will solve the problem of experimenting with governors.
