The Deputy Governor of Imo State, Prince Eze Madumere has dispelled the rumour making rounds in the state that his vacation to the United States of America was militated by the speculated difference existing between him and his boss governor Rochas Okorocha.
Prince Madumere made this public while answering questions from news men at the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, Owerri on his arrival to Imo State.

He said there was no basis for speculating a face-off between him and his boss but described it as the handiwork of mischief makers and urged Imo people to disregard such remours. “In politics, when you are in public office, there are so many things you hear. And I don’t think you should make do with any of those. They are just one or two individuals trying to be mischievous. I just feel the best thing to do is to ignore them”.
The Deputy Governor further assured the people that the relationship between him and the governor is still very cordial. “I want to assure you that nothing has gone wrong. The house is intact. The union between me and my boss is very strong and I also want to tell you that my health is sound. I am very strong and ready to go back to work”.
Commenting on the insinuations about his political ambition, the Deputy Governor has this to say “my political vision depends on my boss, governor Okorocha. Where ever he goes I go”
Prince Madumere thanked Imo people for their concern and show of love for him through their e-mails and prayers even while he was away in the United States of America.
Commissioners, Senior Special Assistants, Special Assistants and some political leaders in the state came in their numbers to welcome the Deputy governor from his about one month vacation at the United States of America.
