Okorocha urges Uzodimma to respect judiciary after court ruling
Rochas Okorocha, a former Governor of Imo State, has called on his successor, Hope Uzodimma, to rein in his aides who have been attacking the judiciary after a Federal High Court ruling. The court, presided over by Justice Obiora Egwuatu, nullified Uzodimma's emergence as the All Progressives Congress candidate for the Imo West Senatorial District in the 2027 elections, declaring Okorocha the winner of the party's May 18 primary.
Okorocha made his remarks at the Federal High Court premises in Abuja, where he was signing documents related to Uzodimma's appeal against the judgment. He condemned the derogatory comments made by Uzodimma's Deputy Chief of Staff and the APC National Vice Chairman regarding the ruling, emphasizing the need to respect judicial decisions.
Okorocha expressed confidence in the Nigerian judiciary and noted that Uzodimma had previously benefited from favorable court judgments.
