Governor Rochas Okorocha
Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha has reacted to the verdict by an Owerri High Court presided over by Justice Benjamin Iheaka which quashed the impeachment of his Deputy governor, Prince Eze Madumere.
Since the court passed judgement on the case, all relevant parties in the matter have filed their appeals against the judgment as well as the motion for stay of executive.
But Sam Onwuemeodo, Chief Press Secretary to Governor Okorocha, in a statement in Owerri, took exception to a press statement issued and signed by Madumere himself in which, he (Madumere) identified himself as the Deputy Governor of the state few minutes after the judgment.
“The fact remains that Prince Madumere is confused. He does not know what he wants. He signed the statement as a deputy governor and at the same time parading himself as governorship aspirant on the platform of the APC and of course about 48 hours to the party’s primary for the governorship.”

Onwuemeodo derided Madumere for expressing childish gratitude to both Chief Ikedi Ohakim and Chief Emeka Ihedioha, governorship aspirants of the APGA and the PDP respectively for their contribution to his legal victory
He noted that the support of the duo to Madumere were targeted at Okorocha, whom he said magnanimously took him up (Madumere) from the floor where he was to the level he is today.
He dismissed the claim by Madumere that his offence with Governor Okorocha is that he stood by the people for justice, wondering when he became an apostle of justice and over what.
“And we want to state clearly that the only offence Governor Okorocha committed against Madumere who he had carried on his back like a baby for decades and made him somebody is that he did not ‘anoint’ him as his successor.
“And you now ask whether it is compulsory that every Deputy Governor must succeed his boss as governor. And if the answer is no, then Madumere should count his teeth with his tongue.”
