Barely hours after the impeachment of Sir Jude Agbaso as Deputy Governor of Imo State, the Government House in Owerri has unveiled Prince Ezeakonobi Madumere, Chief of Staff to the Governor, as the replacement.
The profile of Prince Madumere, a copy of which was made available to News Express, indicates that the incoming Deputy Governor is not only of royal blood but is also “a media Strategist, an astute Administrator as well as Management Guru, a team player and an overall strategist per excellence.”
Prince Madumere was born 48 years ago on (on July 4, 1964) to the royal family of HRH Eze Henry Anorue Madumere and Ugoeze Malinda Madumere of Achi Mbieri, Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo State.
He had his primary and secondary education in Owerri and Lagos respectively after which he travelled to the United States of America for further studies. Prince Madumere obtained his first degree, B.Sc. in Business Administration, from San-Jacinto College, University of Houston Texas.
While in the United States of America, he worked as an Area Manager of Channel Development in the KFC with PepsiCo Inc. for 13 years.
Holder of the prestigious national honour of MFR (Member of the Federal Republic), Prince Madumere is a Knight of Saint Christopher. The Imo State House of Assembly, which this evening impeached Sir Agbaso for allegedly embezzling N450 million, is expected to give Prince Madumere accelerated clearance.
