Okorocha Urges Uzodimma to Respect Judiciary After Ruling
Rochas Okorocha, a former governor of Imo State, has called on his successor, Hope Uzodimma, to rein in his aides who have been attacking the judiciary after a Federal High Court ruling nullified Uzodimma's emergence as the All Progressives Congress candidate for the Imo West Senatorial District in the 2027 elections. The judgment, delivered by Justice Obiora Egwuatu on October 29, recognized Okorocha as the winner of the party's May 18 senatorial primary.
Okorocha made his remarks on the Federal High Court premises in Abuja, where he was signing documents related to Uzodimma's appeal against the judgment. He condemned comments from Uzodimma's aides, including the Deputy Chief of Staff and the APC National Vice Chairman, who disparaged the ruling.
Okorocha emphasized the need for respect towards the judiciary and urged Uzodimma to allow the appeal process to proceed without intimidation.
