Following the impeachment of the Imo state Deputy governor, Eze Madumere, the state House of Assembly, has confirmed Mr Calistus Ekenze, as the replacement of Madumere.

The confirmation was after the Majority leader of the House, Mr. Lugard Osuji, moved the motion for the adoption of Ekenze, as Madumere’s replacement.

Until the Ekenze recognition by the state House of Assembly, he was the head of Imo state civil service.

Ekenze is from the same Mbaitoli local government area, of the impeached deputy governor.
