Nineteen of the 37 lawmakers in
the assembly voted in favour of the impeachment of Madumere at plenary on
Monday.
This is coming after the Imo
State High Court on Monday restrained the panel set up by the Chief Judge of
the state, Paschal Nnadi, the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Acho
Ihim, and the State House of Assembly from taking any further action in the
impeachment process of the state Deputy Governor, Eze Madumere, until the
hearing and determination of the suit.
The Speaker of the House, Acho
Ihim, said the impeachment followed the outcome of a report of a 7-man panel
which was constituted by the Chief Judge of the state to investigate
allegations of gross misconduct.
Channels tv reports that the
allegation of gross misconduct was premised on four reasons which included his
absence without reasons for a period of three months and a failure to perform
constitutional duties like attending state executive and state security council
meetings.
Others included his alleged
failure to attend meetings with the Governor and other government functionaries
as well as an alleged concealment of felonious act in the United States.
