Imo West: APC breaks silence after court removes Uzodimma’s candidacy

The Imo State chapter of the APC says it will challenge a Federal High Court ruling that ordered electoral commission INEC to publish Rochas Okorocha as the party’s candidate for Imo West Senatorial District. The party maintains that Governor Hope Uzodimma won a duly monitored primary and remains its legitimate candidate, while Okorocha was never selected. The APC called the ruling a temporary distraction and said its legal team is preparing an appeal. It urged members and supporters in Orlu zone to remain calm and law-abiding.
