Madumere Fmr. Imo Deputy Gov., Resigns From APC

By Suleiman Anyalewechi

Former Deputy Governor of Imo State, Eze Madumere, has drawn the curtain on his many years of association with the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC.

In a letter of resignation dated  March 17, 2026,   addressed to the APC Chairman of the Ezinihitte Ward,  Mbieri, in Mbaitolu Local Council of Imo State, Madumere one of the founding figures of the party in Imo state, alongside former Governor Rochas Okorocha, informed that his decision which takes immediate effect came after a deep personal reflection on his journey within the ruling party.

While describing the decision as a difficult one to take, the former Deputy Governor said it, however, provides yet another opportunity to “explore new paths” on his political journey.

“I write to formally notify you of my decision to resign my membership of the All Progressive Congress, APC effective, immediately.

“The decision, though difficult, has become necessary after deep personal reflection on my political journey with the party.

“I sincerely feel it is time for me to explore new paths. It is my utmost desire and expectation that we all continue to maintain the cordial relationship that we have built over the years in our collective desire to build a better Nigeria” Madumere stated.

This is as he appreciated the party for the opportunity given to him to further his political career and to serve the  people.

He, however, reaffirmed his unflinching commitment to the wider goal of building a better Nigeria – his exit from the APC nothwithstanding.

Although, Madumere did not disclose his next line of action, there are strong indications that he may court the opposition coalition platform, the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
