Uzodimma and Okorocha Supporters Clash Over Court Ruling
The dispute for the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial ticket for Imo West escalated on social media after a Federal High Court in Abuja ruled on Thursday that Governor Hope Uzodimma's candidacy was void and recognized Rochas Okorocha as the winner of the May 18 primary. Uzodimma's supporters condemned the ruling as a miscarriage of justice, while Okorocha's camp celebrated the judiciary's decision.
Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, Uzodimma’s Senior Special Assistant on Electronic and Creative Media, called for a review of the judgment. Ndubuisi Ifedoro, a supporter of Uzodimma, warned that the APC could lose the seat if Okorocha became the candidate, stating he would not vote for Okorocha.
Conversely, Pascal Oguguo, an Okorocha supporter, praised the ruling as a reward for Okorocha's loyalty to the APC and President Bola Tinubu. Ezinne Precious emphasized the importance of internal democracy and respect for primary outcomes, arguing that those who took risks for the party should not be overlooked.
