Okorocha Calls Uzodinma South-East's Main Problem

Rochas Okorocha, the former governor of Imo State, has labeled his successor, Hope Uzodinma, as the primary issue facing the South-East. In an interview on Arise Prime Time, Okorocha accused Uzodinma of prioritizing his political ambitions over effective governance, claiming that his desire to hold multiple political roles has detracted from his responsibilities to the people of Imo State.

Okorocha urged Uzodinma to focus on governance rather than political power. He also reported incidents of violence and intimidation, including an armed attack at a hotel owned by his wife, which resulted in his in-law being shot.

Additionally, Okorocha mentioned that a former rival of Uzodinma was handcuffed after attending church. These allegations come amid a backdrop of political tension between the two leaders.

Furthermore, a Federal High Court in Abuja recently ruled that Uzodinma should no longer be recognized as the APC candidate for the Imo West senatorial seat in the 2027 elections, replacing him with Okorocha.
