Prince Eze Madumere, the Imo State Deputy Governor Impeached
Imo Deputy Governor Prince Eze Madumere, who was served an impeachment notice few weeks ago by lawmakers in the state, has been impeached.
Prince Eze Madumere was impeached by 19 of the 37 members of the Imo House of Assembly, after the assembly received a report by a panel set up by the state chief judge which allegedly indicted Mr Madumere of gross misconduct.
However sources claim that the Imo Deputy Governor had a face-off with Governor Rochas Okorocha over the latter’s successor in 2019. While Mr Madumere seeks to succeed Mr Okorocha, the governor reportedly supports his son-in-law.
The crisis worsened during the APC local and state congresses in the state with Mr Okorocha and his deputy supporting separate factions. Although the APC faction supported by Mr Madumere and a senator, Osita Izunaso, was initially recognised by the national leadership of the party, its election was upturned by the court.
