Ganduje Congratulates Okorocha After Court Rules on APC Candidacy
Abdullahi Ganduje, the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), visited Rochas Okorocha on Wednesday to congratulate him following a Federal High Court ruling in Abuja that favored Okorocha. The court's decision removed Hope Uzodimma as the APC senatorial candidate for Imo West and directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to publish Okorocha's name as the legitimate candidate.
Ganduje expressed his excitement about the ruling, describing it as a reason for celebration. This legal victory is significant for Okorocha, who had contested Uzodimma's candidacy for the senatorial position.
The court's order effectively allows Okorocha's name to appear on the ballot as the official APC candidate, placing Uzodimma, the current Governor, at a disadvantage in the senatorial race. Ganduje's visit highlighted the political implications of the court's decision within APC circles.
