Former Imo State Governor, Senator Rochas Okorocha, has welcomed the Federal High Court judgment that nullified the senatorial nomination of Governor Hope Uzodimma for the Imo West Senatorial District ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Reacting to the verdict delivered by Justice Obiora Egwuatu, Okorocha described the ruling as a triumph of internal party democracy and a reaffirmation of the rule of law.
Key Highlights of the Reaction:
- Affirmation of Mandate: Okorocha maintained that he legitimately won the May 18 primary election conducted by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), emphasizing that the court’s decision restores the mandate freely given by party members.
- Call for Compliance: Following the court order directing the APC to forward his name to INEC, Okorocha urged the leadership of the ruling party to swiftly comply with the judgment without further delay.
- Political Readiness: Expressing confidence ahead of the upcoming contest, his camp reaffirmed readiness to effectively represent the people of the Imo West Senatorial District and deliver impactful governance at the national level.
