2019 imo deputy gov expresses disappointment okorocha bid senate

I think I have found the information you're looking for!

In 2019, the Deputy Governor of Imo State, Eze Madumere, expressed disappointment over the decision of the then Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, to contest for the Senate seat.

According to reports, Okorocha, who was the outgoing Governor of Imo State, had announced his intention to contest for the Senate seat in 2019, despite the fact that his deputy, Eze Madumere, was also interested in the seat.

Madumere, who was reportedly close to Okorocha, expressed disappointment over the decision, saying that he was not consulted before Okorocha made the announcement. He also accused Okorocha of not being committed to the development of Imo State and of being more interested in personal gain.

The disagreement between Okorocha and Madumere led to a rift between the two, with Madumere eventually being removed as Deputy Governor by the Imo State House of Assembly in 2019.

It's worth noting that Okorocha's decision to contest for the Senate seat was seen by many as a way for him to maintain his influence in Imo State politics, despite the fact that his tenure as Governor was coming to an end.
