Imo West: 'Presidency tired of nonsense' - Okorocha breaks silence after court victory

Former Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has reacted to the Federal High Court judgment which ordered Governor Hope Uzodimma to stop parading himself as the All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate for Imo West Senatorial District.

The court also directed the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to publish Okorocha’s name as the party’s authentic candidate.

Speaking after the judgment on Thursday, Okorocha said justice has finally prevailed.

He recalled how one person allegedly wrote more than 300 results, causing someone who came fourth in an election to become number one, describing what happened in Imo West as similar.

“Justice has finally prevailed. This was the same thing that happened when one person wrote more than 300 results, causing someone who came fourth to become number one.

“I appreciate the Nigerian judiciary, and it is evident that the Presidency is tired of this nonsense,” Okorocha said.

Okorocha commended the judiciary for standing on the side of justice and said the judgment has shown that the presidency is tired of impunity.

He urged his supporters in Imo West to remain calm and celebrate the victory.
