Besides, his alleged absconding from office, he was also accused of refusing to carry out his official duties assigned to him by the governor.

Other allegations were his refusal to attend State Executive Council meetings, his refusal to hold meetings with the governor and commissioners and imprisonment for theft in the USA.

It would be recalled that Madumere had been having a running battle with his boss, Governor Rochas Okorocha, over his governorship ambition which saw him aligning with other politicians against the governor.

Calling for the presentation of the petition, the Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon Acho Ihim, said that the petition has met and surpassed the required one third as provided in Section 188 (2) 11 of the 1999 Constitution.

The House is made up of 27 members but four members were earlier suspended for “unpaliamentary conduct”.
