The Deputy Governor of Imo State, Eze Madumere has faulted the redeployment of 12 of his operational staff in a manner that suggests plot by the Governor Rochas Okorocha led Imo State Government to harm him.

 

The Deputy Governor is more worried over the reason for the sudden redeployment of key members of his staff.

 

Madumere recalls that since his acquittal from the impeachment plot in the High Court, Owerri presided by Justice Benjamin Iheka, there has been gross disregard to the office of the Deputy Governor.

 

He lamented that his security aides have not been restored even after he had written to the appropriate authorities for barely two months running.

 

Madumere has therefore  expressed fear over his security as the resolve of the Commissioner of Police, Dasuki Galadanchi, has refused to restore his security in spite of the court verdict since September 2018.

 

In the recent development, a memo with reference number HIS/S.29/S.1/t.3/1/807 signed on behalf of the Head of Service by  one Umelo K.O, dated 23rd October, 2018, 12 members of the staff were posted out of the Office of the Deputy Governor where.

 

Eight of them are operational staff and drivers while others are administrative staff, including Senior Staff on Data Processing.

 

The office of the Deputy Governor, however, wishes to inform the general public that the Imo State Government led by Okorocha  may be on a mission to harm  him “if not make attempt on the life of the Deputy Governor.”

 

A statement from the office of the Deputy Governor signed by his media aide, Uche Onwuchekwa said:

 

“We recall that during the series of impeachment plots to remove the Deputy Governor of Imo State from Office, we raised alarm over the grand plans to harm Prince Madumere following his stance against imposition of Governor’s son-in-law, Mr. Uche Nwosu and other irreconcilable issues that bordered on policies.

 

“We also recall how some members of the domestic staff of the Deputy Governor were approached to be used as agents of death to poison the Deputy Governor.

 

“Therefore, Office of the Deputy Governor regrets the tyrannical model of governance approach of the government even in a democracy, where people’s opinion or freedom of Speech, Association and other fundamental rights are not respected.

 

“It is also regrettable to note that Imo State government should throw caution to the wind by flagrantly refusing to observe ethics, values and respect for the hierarchy of office in an established organization as a Government to the extent where the opinion of the Deputy Governor is not sought before issue as sensitive as posting out staff from the Office of the Deputy Governor by the Head of Service.

 

“We wish to state categorically that the sudden posting of the operational staff of the Office of the Deputy Governor is a careful plot to compromise the security of Madumere.

 

“We therefore view the whole actions and in-actions of the government of Imo State as wholly suspicious and a well-known old preparatory gimmicks before high profile heinous crimes like assassinations are committed.

 

“We wish to therefore notify the Inspector General of Police, Commissioner of Police, Imo State and other security agencies to take note of the suspicious actions and in-actions of Imo State Government led by His Excellency, Owelle Rochas Okorocha.”
