Succession war is said to have begun in Imo Rescue mission as politicians from Okigwe and Owerri zones now fight on daily bases over who takes over the position of the embattled Deputy Governor of Imo State, Prince Eze Madumere who may be impeached next week for different count charges leveled against him by Imo State Assembly.

Information revealed that the Deputy Governor having properly served the notice of impeachment by the appropriate authority may either resign by himself or be removed from office through impeachment process.

Trumpeta findings indicate that leaders of Owerri zone want another Owerri man to take over Madumere’s position as the new Deputy Governor since the position was zoned to Owerri zone but Okigwe zone people are saying no to the demand of Owerri zone and has advised the governor to give it to an Okigwe man or woman in other to balance the equation. While Owerri people are making case for Hon Lugard Osuji to be the next Deputy Governor of Imo State Okigwe zone leaders want Joy Mbawuike the present commissioner in charge of market development but there are a lot of factors holding against Joy Mbawuike from succeeding as the next Deputy Governor of Imo State.

It is most likely that the governor will favour Okigwe zone in order to gain more ground for 2019 Imo guber.

A worried Okorocha who has not made public his choice for replacement of Madumere is said to be consulting widely and keeping the name to his chest until the impeachment plot is finished.

Meanwhile, the Speaker of the House, Rt Hon Acho Ihim who was earlier tipped for the position is said to have lost out as the position of Ambassador has been reserved for him.
