He said his immediate task was to reawaken the consciousness of sportsmen and women to Karate. Adding he would start his campaign to return the sport to the spotlight from the grassroots.

“Joining Karate Federation is where we can demonstrate what we can do nationally. My aim is to assist in promoting Karate especially in the South East that I am representing,” Prince Madumere stated. “We will also like to rekindle the consciousness of our people especially the young ones. We will return to the grassroots.

“We are thinking about raising talents that will represent us at the Olympics and other international competitions. My emphasis as a zonal representative in the board is to catch them young.”

He added that he decided to join the moving train of Agara to ensure that Karate becomes more popular in Nigeria and that the next few years will bring about lots of developmental strides in the sport across all the six zones.

“It was a unanimous decision to return him as our President. He did a good job at the helms the last tenure and we know he will surpass that this current one.

“We will do our best to support him as well by ensuring that Karate becomes the talk of the town in our various zones.”
