What was your transition from the private sector into an active player in politics like?
We give God the glory, for everything that He has provided us. The Almighty Father is the ultimate who makes all things possible. So, we are grateful to God, for wherever I have found myself today, it is God first and the next person is Rochas Okorocha.
The truth of the matter is having come in from where I came from, the United States, some of the things I have seen are not what I envisaged, the challenges that are involved in governance and the individuals that make up governance are the challenges in themselves.
How was the agitation for an Owerri governor minimised that an Orlu man was returned again as governor?
Rochas Okorocha is quite an example of a detribalized and not a zonal leader. My leader, our leader, Owelle Rochas Okorocha is a man of inspiration. Today, more than 75 per cent of the infrastructure is in Owerri Zone. The other 25 per cent is shared between Okigwe and Orlu. You have a governor who believes in putting projects not because of where he comes from, but based on the fact that it is good for Imo State.
Today, for example, we are talking about industry, industry, industry, factory, factory, factory! We have gone back to bring back the old Mbakwe factories. For instance, card board packaging industry is in Owerri not in Orlu. We have recovered that. De Raising Paint is in Mbaise here, Owerri Zone, we have recovered that. These things will now start coming in place. We have got some Italians trying to bring back those apex factories. These are the things that were lying fallow for over thirty years. Now, this governor is not thinking about his village. He is not thinking about his own person. This is a governor who makes sacrifice, who goes through pains every day, just to make sure that Imo people and Ndi Igbo are recognized in this country.
People have different views of Okorocha. As one who has associated with him for over two decades what is your candid view of the man?
The man, Rochas Okorocha is a philanthropist. He is a family man. He is a man you will love to be close to. Rochas Okorocha I know is vehement but his brain is faster than clock. For you to be able to meet up with him, you must come a little closer. Just imagine, someone you’ve been with for over two decades, by now I could have told you I have a PhD on him. No, I do not.
By the time, you get closer; my boss will keep shifting the goal post. He is a man who likes challenges. He is an adventurer. He believes in a thing, then, it is achievable. He is not too perfect a person. He is a man who is also very eager and open to learning from you. As he is holding a conversation with you, he is picking up one or two things from you, but you don’t know. The day he will use them, he will say remember the day you said.
Within the context of the Imo Rescue Mission, have you developed your personal vision for Imo?
My oga’s vision subsumes mine. And that is the way it is.
Free education
As much as I operate with my oga, you only have one captain at a time.
What is the weight of the free education project on the government?
Free education has run for four years now, and free education has come to stay. It is what people never believed was possible.
The opposition never believed that it could happen and the doubt is with them till today. I don’t think that we as a government have done very well in giving free education the publicity it deserves. It seems like there is this shadow as if there is, may be, a Rochas magic. No, there is a practical thing on the ground. We have three major tertiary institutions owned by the State – one of them, Imo State University.
Prince
Eze Madumere, the deputy governor of Imo State was before his entry
into the political fray an entrenched player in the private sector
having been an executive of Pepsi Cola in the United States. In this
interview he reviews developments in his state, efforts towards boosting
industrialisation of the state and gives a peep into the life and
manner of Governor Rochas Okorocha. Excerpts:
