The former Deputy Governor of Imo State, Prince Eze Madumere, has officially joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In his declaration letter presented to the PDP in Imo State on March 27, 2026, Madumere expressed his intention to join the party to unite like-minded individuals in a bid to restore the democratic rights of the people.

He emphasised his commitment to promoting youth empowerment and innovation, as well as delivering transparent governance.

He said: “I believe that when the platform one stands on is no longer serving the purpose of the people, it then becomes apt to build a new one.”

He said: “Today, I took a step into my conscience. Today I have decided to officially inform you of my resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC) with effect from today 17th March, 2026 and my entry into the PDP.”

While describing it as a defining moment in his political career, he added that his declaration for PDP came after a deep reflection and broad consultation with his family, mentors and supporters.

He thanked his former political party, APC, for the opportunity provided for him to serve in many political spheres while acknowledging the privilege it had offered him to serve as a Deputy Governor of Imo State.

Madumere pledged to remain grateful to the quality relationship and friends for their collaboration and support while the political alliance lasted.

He pointed out that his departure from APC is not born out of malice but necessity, stating that his decision was not driven by personal ambition, but rather by a desire for improved performance, better representation, and enhanced service delivery.
