Uzodinma: Nigerians resurface footage of Okorocha dancing with Wike after court ruling

The Federal High Court on Thursday removed Hope Uzodinma as the APC candidate for the 2027 Imo West senatorial election and ordered INEC to replace him with Rochas Okorocha. The court ruled that Okorocha had won the APC primary held in May 2026. After the decision, social media users circulated an old video of Okorocha celebrating with Nyesom Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory, prompting discussion about their relationship and alleged influence by powerful officials. Wike and Uzodinma recently fell out over Uzodinma’s disapproval of the Rainbow Coalition.
