Okorocha Critiques Uzodimma, Plans Coalition for Tinubu
Former Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha has publicly criticized the current governor, Hope Uzodimma, calling him an opportunist and stating that he lacks the political power to represent the Southeast. Okorocha asserted that Uzodimma's popularity does not compare to his own among the Imo people.
He recently praised a Federal High Court judgment regarding the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial primary for Imo West, which he claims supports democracy and the judiciary. Okorocha is contesting the APC's declaration of Uzodimma as the party's candidate, as he believes he is the authentic candidate based on a separate document claiming he won the primary with 150,780 votes.
Okorocha's legal challenge, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1854/2026, questions Uzodimma's eligibility to run for the 2027 senatorial election while serving as governor. Additionally, Okorocha announced plans to create a Rainbow Coalition to support President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027, aiming to unite various political factions for governance beyond party lines.
