The Lawmakers of the Imo State House of Assembly officially served an impeachment notice on the embattled deputy governor in the penultimate Tuesday. It was a culmination of a ding-dong affair between him and his boss, Governor Rochas Okorocha, which has effectively severed the burgeoning relationship between the duo that has lasted for over 25 years.
The last two months had seen the deputy governor spearheading a coalition that tended to thwart the desire of the governor to place his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu as his successor. They brought business activities and vehicular movement to a standstill.
The impeachment notice which was served on the deputy governor by substituted means newspaper publications was signed by the Speaker, Acho Ihim and 13 other lawmakers. As if this was not enough, the House in its sitting in the penultimate Wednesday, ordered the Clerk of the House, Chris Duru, to write the State Chief Judge, Paschal Nnadi, to probe the allegations and ascertain if the deputy governor was guilty of gross misconduct as contained in a petition signed by 13 members of the House.
The battle between Okorocha and Madumere has polarised the party and ipso facto the state. Just lots of swearing.
A hunt based only on trophies taken falls far short of the ultimate goal. This is the state Madumere has found himself.
He may have gone hunting without an accordion. Hunting is about the journey and not the outcome. He is an entrepreneur, management consultant and astute administrator.

Smith died on Death Row 11 months ago. Mosley, who was considered a suspect in the Whitehead killing, has also been suspected of committing about rapes and a dozen murders.
Evans retired 13 years ago and spent more than two decades in a largely one-man crusade to gather enough evidence to put Mosley away for one of those murders. I miss the fact that I never got to grow up with her," said Lydia Moultry, who was 14 when her sister was raped and beaten to death in the press box at Dillard High School. Sonja's mother, Rebecca, who is ill, also felt a sense of closure, Moultry said.
The girls' father, Elmira Arnett, died two years ago. Everybody in the whole community was upset. Following the little girl's murder, a mob of about people chased a teenager who matched the general description of the killer into a home where he hid in the bathroom until the crowd learned he was not the suspect.
Evans' obsession with Mosley was compounded when another man, Jerry Frank Townsend, confessed to a string of murders in Miami-Dade and Broward counties including the Sonja Marion killing. They were talking with and asked him who he killed," Evans said.
