Eze Madumere. Deputy Governor of Imo State. |
The
Deputy Governor of Imo State, Prince Eze Madumer, has called on the general
public to disregard and discountenance the mischievous piece of information
published in one of the local tabloids titled: “Imo Assembly Plots Official
Reinstatement of Eze Madumere as Deputy Governor”, describing it as misleading
and mere rhetoric.
Imo
Deputy Governor’s call was contained in a Press Statement signed by his Special
Adviser on Media, Uche Onwuchekwa.
According
to the statement: “the Office of the Deputy Governor of Imo State wishes to
make it categorically clear that Prince Eze Madumere is the Deputy Governor of
Imo State and will only serve out his term of office on May 29, 2019 as
enshrined in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”.
The
statement further clarified that the purported impeachment, which some members
of the House of Assembly participated in, was nullified by Imo State High Court
presided by Justice Benjamin Iheka on September 25, 2019 for not following due
process, thereby rendering the purported exercise as illegality.
It
will be recalled that Justice Iheka had flayed those involved in the purported
impeachment exercise against Prince Eze Madumere for non adherence to the
provisions of section 188(5) of the 1999 constitution as amended in the
impeachment, thereby rendering the purported impeachment exercise as
nonexistent in the eyes of the law.
The
statement therefore described the alleged statement of Imo State House of
Assembly as suspicious and a seeming foundation for scam, wondering with doubt
if actually Imo parliament ever engaged in such exercise.
It
further stated: “While the Office of the Deputy Governor views the alleged plot
to ‘reinstate’ the Deputy Governor as mere speculation laced with mischief, we
however advise Imo Assembly not to drag Prince Eze Madumere, the Deputy
Governor of Imo State into its internal wrangling”.
