Eze Madumere, Imo State deputy governor, has challenged Imo State House of Assembly lawmakers to produce the verdicts of the court that convicted him and imprisoned him for theft in the United States as alleged by them.
Madumere stated this through a press release while reacting to the viral letter of gross misconduct written against him and signed by 13 of the 27 state lawmakers. He said that the claim that he was absent in office for a period of three months was a ploy to witch-hunt him as he had not absconded from office.
On allegation of not performing his constitutional function, the deputy governor stated that there are laid down procedures through a deputy governor or any member of the executive council could be invited for executive council meeting.
“We hereby state that the deputy governor has never been invited for such meetings through either a memo or any official notices and thereby cannot stand against the deputy governor,” Madumere said.
“We state here that Governor Okorocha has never created such opportunity to meet with the deputy governor to discuss the programmes and activities of the government other than the once we embarrassingly hear by the road side and other sources,” he stated.
