Interview with Prince Eze Madumere, an APC Chieftain and ex-Imo Deputy-Governor under the Rochas Okorocha-administration

Has your party, the APC, done well under this administration to retain the presidential ticket beyond 2027?

Going by the present socio-political and economic realities, APC has not done well even though the ruling party has also done well in some areas of human endeavour. However, I think it will be too early to write off the party because the administration has not even gone half of its present tenure. My appeal is for us to be prayerful and hopeful. I also still feel that the current administration would have by now shown some glimpse of determination to improve the country in certain areas like the persistent insecurity in the country. It should give us some sense of concern that insecurity is escalating in almost every part of the country. Kidnapping and demand for ransoms have been on the spiral increase, the insurgents that the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari told Nigerians that it has reduced insecurity dramatically in the Northeast, for example, but it has been on the increase recently with the resumed bomb explosion in Borno State. The food shortage in the country is getting to a crisis level to the point of assuming a serious source of concern to many Nigerians. Foodstuff has since got out of the reach of the rich let alone the less privileged citizens. As I said earlier, the APC government has not done well in certain areas, especially in managing the country economically. However, I want to say that all hopes are not lost; particularly with the window the Federal Government opened for duty-free and tax-free importation of certain food items into the country. It could not have come at a better time than now with the former Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, telling Nigerians that there is no foodstuff in the silos across the country. I don’t, however, have any iota of doubt on whether the present administration still possesses the capacity to turn things around within so short a time. Arrangements and machinery are already in motion to redirect the ship. I just want to passionately appeal to Nigerians to exercise little patience.

APC has boasted that it will overrun the Southeast in 2027, how possible can this be?

There is a difference between political realities and mere notice-me noises to be heard for political patronage. We call that lips service. In today’s Nigeria, you win by performance and not by mere binding and casting claims. We have some real performers as governors in the Southeast. If you say we can achieve that by mere rigging that is understandable, but unfortunately unacceptable. Nigerians no longer care about parties, but individuals with track records and visible achievements.

On point

thank you for the article

Lamba

E get any Nigeria election weh no be Rigging

Exclusive101:
Do APC want to take over Ipobland that is the first question to ask. As the APC courted the SE in anyway ?! We all know the answer to this.

APC is a cancerous development, not a party.

Madumere, the Prince that made HOPE UZODIMMA THE GOVERNOR, unfortunately, he did it in good fate to spite his then principal Rochas but ended up abandoned by HOPISM.


Many of us in South East will show lipservise to APC to share the money and vote our choice candidate

APC has been nothing but a curse to this country. Those people have only made the country worse than they met it.

Of what value are SE states to APC. For Gods sake they gave Obi 98% of their votes in 2023 and he still came distant 3rd position in an election that Obi was the only Christian among the four front runners.

Rigging made Gbajue had more than 80% of the votes in the south east

You’re either being daft or you truly have a simplistic way of looking at issues owing to your low level of intelligence and bigotry!

When you hear of APC wanting to ‘take over’ the south-east, it’s not because of any noble intentions or because they feel they’re engaging with a people or region they see as equals! APC is presently a conglomeration and gathering (wouldn’t even attempt to call that coven a political party) of the most greedy, rabid, bigoted and xenophobic Igbo-haters ever, and the principal partners are the Buhari/Tinubu hegemonic alliance!

Their designs on the south-east are primarily driven by a feeling of a ‘conquerer’ wanting to show a people they are ‘2nd class citizens’, ‘conquered’ and do not have the same status in society as their ‘conquerors’….kinda like having a pharaohic or napoleonic complex! In this, they are actually aided and abetted by greedy, power-hungry Igbos’ with a house-nigger complex or who have a severe case of stockholm syndrome, and these are typified by the likes of Umahi and Uzodinma! Those two and their ilk are prepared to say anything or throw their own people under the bus in an instant just to try and please their Yoruba/Fulani hegemonic masters!

The APCs control of the centre and all the mechanisms for rigging elections was what helped Umahi (a character enslaved by his own lust for power and who i’ve grown to dislike in recent times) foist a dull and visionless character on Ebonyians as governor even when there were better options! And this same rigging also helped Uzodinma steal a second term!

The APC designs on the south-east mirrors the wider designs the hegemonic Nigerian state has had on the region, from the late 60s to date, owing to the high incidence of oil and gas deposits in Alaigbo (note i said Alaigbo and not south-east), and this is why they ensured they facilitated the judicial abracadabra and hocus-pocus that saw the supreme court governor being rigged in as governor in Imo state!

APC the master of rigger but other political parties need to come out strong and put their houses to order

Only miracle fit help Nigeria. Meanwhile, I mass produce vintage shirts for retailers. See my thread for details

Seconded.

It is common knowledge.

Fact

I wish the TINUBULATION would only a abound in the areas that voted APC but unfortunately the whole Nigeria is feeling the heat.

I comment my reserve

Won't happen again even with rigging

Paraman:

Bla bla bla...

Peter Obi went to Tinubu's Lagos and defeated him.

Rigging ko, babablu ni.

SHOW US ANY ELECTION IN THIS COUNTRY EVER WON WITHOUT RIGGING, EVEN GOVERNORSHIP. SENSELESS HYPOCRITES

Mere mention of anything APC is like a taboo to the average Igbo man
