Uzodimma's Aide Critiques Okorocha's Political Return

Enyinnaya Onuegbu, the Chief of Staff to Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, stated that former Governor Rochas Okorocha only returned to the political scene to claim benefits from a process he did not engage in. This statement followed the Federal High Court's decision in Abuja, which rejected Uzodimma's candidacy for the Imo West Senatorial contest and declared Okorocha the winner.

On Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’, Onuegbu emphasized that Okorocha was absent from crucial meetings and events leading up to the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary in Imo State. He argued that Okorocha cannot be considered a stakeholder in the party due to his deliberate absence from party activities and reconciliation meetings.

Onuegbu also mentioned that Governor Uzodimma attempted to reach out to Okorocha and other dissatisfied leaders after the primary, but they did not respond. He asserted that the APC in Imo is united and prepared for the upcoming election.
