Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, has paid a congratulatory visit to former Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha following a reported victory at the Federal High Court in Abuja over the Imo West senatorial ticket.
Ganduje, who expressed excitement over the court’s decision, visited Okorocha to congratulate him on the development, describing his reaction to the judgment as one of joy.
The visit followed a reported ruling by the Federal High Court in Abuja that removed Governor Hope Uzodimma as the APC’s senatorial candidate for Imo West and directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to publish Okorocha’s name as the party’s rightful candidate.
The ruling marks a significant development in the political contest surrounding the APC’s representation in Imo West Senatorial District, where the interests of the two prominent politicians have been at the centre of attention.
Okorocha, a former governor of Imo State and former senator representing Imo West, remains an influential figure in the state’s political landscape. The reported judgment could have important implications for the party’s candidate selection process and the next steps in the senatorial contest.
Ganduje’s visit underscores the political significance of the court’s decision and the attention it has attracted among APC leaders and stakeholders.
Further details on the court’s reasoning, the parties’ responses and any subsequent legal steps were not immediately available.
