Former Deputy Governor of Imo State, Eze Madumere, has formally joined the Peoples Democratic party, PDP.
Madumere had, in a letter dated March 17, 2026, resigned his membership of the All Progressive Congress, APC.
In the letter addressed to the APC Chairman of the Ezinihitte Ward Mbiere in Mbaitoli Local Council of Imo State, Madumere one of the founding figures of the APC in Imo state, alongside former Governor Rochas Okorocha, informed that his decision to part ways with the party was made after a deep personal reflection on his journey within the APC.
According to him, the decision although a difficult one to take, nevertheless provides yet another opportunity to “explore new paths on his political journey.”
Announcing his defection to the PDP on Wednesday April 1, 2026, at his country home, the former Imo Deputy Governor similarly informed that his choice was made after extensive consultations and careful considerations with his family members , political associates and supporters.
” My dear revered colleagues, supporters and well wishers, after deep reflections and broad consultations with my family, mentors and supporters, I have taken a step into what my conscience prefers.
” Today, I have decided to officially inform you of my resignation from the All Progressive Congress, APC, with effect from March 17,2026, and my entry into the Peoples Democratic party PDP”, he stated.
He emphasized that his decision was not borne out anger, malice and frustration, but necessity.
This was as he noted that he could no longer continue to remain in a system that has little or no regard for loyalty, but instead delights in marginalizing committed members.
According to him, the APC in its current form, has completely deviated from its founding ideals and philosophy, hence his decision to seek alternative political platform.
“For the records, my departure from the APC is not borne out of malice,but of necessity.
“I have come to terms with the notion that I could no longer continue to be an appendage of a party that does not reward loyalty, but is frequently in the habit of disrespecting, and marginalizing members who have stuck their lives for the unity, progress and development of the party. In deed, my old party, the APC, has lost its core objectives”, Madumere noted.
The former Imo Deputy Governor described the PDP as not only a credible alternative ,but a platform that offers hope and renewal.
“I have chosen today to join the Peoples Democratic party PDP because its ideals, philosophy and direction align with my political aspirations and ideology.
“I, therefore, see in this new chapter, a sense of hope and renewal – a platform dedicated to real transformation and progress”, he added.
