Ganduje Congratulates Okorocha on Court Victory for APC Candidacy
Abdullahi Ganduje, the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), visited Rochas Okorocha at his Abuja residence to congratulate him following a Federal High Court judgment. The court declared Okorocha the winner of the APC primary for the Imo West Senatorial District.
Ganduje expressed his excitement over the ruling, calling it a well-deserved victory and a vindication of Okorocha's struggle. Okorocha appreciated Ganduje's support, referring to him as a true friend.
Justice Obiora Egwuatu of the Federal High Court ruled that Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma should stop presenting himself as the APC candidate for the upcoming senatorial election on January 16, 2027, as he did not win the primary held on May 18. The court found that Okorocha received the majority of votes and ordered the APC to submit Okorocha's name to the Independent National Electoral Commission as its candidate.
The Imo State Government has rejected the judgment and plans to appeal.
