The Deputy Governor of Imo State, Chinyere Ekomaru, has resigned from her position, sparking fresh political developments in the state.
The resignation, which reportedly occurred on Friday, was disclosed through sources and media reports, although official details surrounding the decision remain unclear as the Imo State Government is yet to issue a formal statement.
Ekomaru served as deputy to Governor Hope Uzodinma, and her exit adds to a series of leadership changes within the state’s executive structure in recent years.
Sources indicate that arrangements may already be underway for the swearing-in of a new deputy governor, though no official confirmation has been provided.
The development has triggered political reactions and speculation over possible underlying factors, including internal disagreements and broader strategic calculations ahead of the 2027 elections.
Observers say the situation could reshape the political landscape in Imo State, particularly within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), as attention turns to the choice of a successor and its implications for governance and future contests.
As of the time of filing this report, neither Ekomaru nor the state government has publicly addressed the reasons for her resignation.
