Madumere came in the eye of the storm recently when 13 lawmakers petitioned the Speaker of the House of Assembly alleging gross misconduct against the Deputy Governor.
An ad hoc committee headed by Hon.Kennedy Ibe presented its report to the House after which the Speaker, Acho Ihim directed the State Chief Judge to set up a seven man panel to be made up of men of unquestionable character to investigate the allegations.
The State Deputy Governor sought and obtained an order of a Federal High Court, Abuja which ordered a halt of the impeachment process.
