Okorocha Claims Uzodimma Wanted Lawan's VP Slot in 2022
Rochas Okorocha, the former Governor of Imo State, claimed during a Channels Television interview that current Governor Hope Uzodimma aimed to be the running mate of former Senate President Ahmad Lawan in the 2022 All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary. This statement came shortly after a Federal High Court declared Okorocha the winner of the APC primary for the Imo West Senatorial District.
Okorocha criticized Uzodimma for allegedly aspiring to multiple political offices simultaneously, including the Vice-Presidential position. He expressed concerns about Uzodimma's leadership, stating that residents of Imo were dissatisfied with his governance and that insecurity had worsened under his administration.
Okorocha compared Uzodimma's handling of security issues unfavorably to his own tenure, which he claimed was managed without bloodshed. He advised Uzodimma to accept the court's decision regarding the primary outcome rather than appealing it, asserting that the result was not subject to manipulation.
