Court Rules Uzodinma Must Stop Claiming APC Candidacy
The Federal High Court in Abuja has issued an order for Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma to stop presenting himself as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the Imo West Senatorial District election, which is scheduled for January 16, 2027. This ruling was delivered by Justice Obiora Egwuatu on Thursday during a judgment concerning a suit that challenged the results of the APC primary election held on May 18.
The court found that evidence presented confirmed that former Imo State governor Rochas Okorocha received the majority of votes in the primary election and should be recognized as the winner. As a result, Justice Egwuatu directed the APC to submit Okorocha’s name as its candidate for the Imo West Senatorial District seat in the upcoming 2027 general elections.
