Okorocha Urges Uzodimma to Respect Judiciary After Ruling
Rochas Okorocha, former governor of Imo State, has admonished his successor, Hope Uzodimma, to restrain his aides from attacking the judiciary after a Federal High Court ruling recognized Okorocha as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the Imo West Senatorial District in the 2027 elections. Judge Obiora Egwuatu ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to replace Uzodimma’s name with Okorocha’s on its records.
Uzodimma’s chief of staff, Enyinnaya Onuegbu, criticized the ruling as a “miscarriage of justice.” Okorocha expressed concern over the governor's aides' disparaging remarks about the judiciary and suggested that Uzodimma should appeal the ruling rather than resort to insults. He emphasized the need to protect the judiciary's integrity and called for Uzodimma to publicly address the matter instead of allowing his aides to speak on his behalf.
