Owerri Court Nullifies The Impeachment Of Imo State Deputy Governor, Eze Madumere

It has been reported that an Owerri High Court has nullified the purported impeachment of the Imo State Deputy Governor, Eze Madumere.

You may recall, Mr. Madumere was removed controversially from office by Imo State House of Assembly members over a political dispute with Governor Rochas Okorocha.

The court sitting in Owerri ruled on Tuesday that the removal did not follow due process. The court also ordered Mr. Madumere to continue in office as deputy governor.

The crisis between Messrs Madumere and Okorocha was over who would succeed Mr. Okorocha as Imo governor. While Mr. Madumere insists on running for governor on the platform of the governing APC, Mr. Okorocha reportedly backs his son-in-law to succeed him. With PT
