The Imo state house of assembly
has started proceedings on the impeachment of Eze Madumere, deputy governor of
the state.
At plenary on Tuesday, Ugonna
Ozuruigbo, deputy speaker, moved the motion that the impeachment process be
served on Madumere.
The deputy governor was accused
of abandoning his duties for a long time, refusing to carry out official duties
assigned to him by the governor, among others.
The house set up a six-man committee
headed by Kennedy Ibe, member representing Obowo local government area, to
probe the allegations and report back wthin seven days.
Earlier, Acho Ihim, the speaker,
suspended a lawmaker who kicked against the impeachment process.
Before now, the house had
suspended the pro-Madumere lawmakers who are in the minority.
Madumere emerged deputy governor
following the ousting of Jude Agabso.
However, his governorship
ambition pitched him against Rochas Okorocha, the incumbent governor.
While Okorocha is rooting for
Uche Nwosu, his son-inlaw who is currently his chief of staff, Madumere is
banking on the support of some influential politicians in the state.
Okorocha and Madumere belong to
two different factions of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
