Immediate past governor of Imo state and APC Senator representing Imo West, Senator Rochas Okorocha, has congratulated Senator Hope Uzodinma over his victory at the Supreme Court.
The apex court had on Tuesday declared Uzodinma, candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the March 9, elections as the duly elected governor of the state.
The court in upturning the election of Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party, said the lower courts erred in law when they
rejected evidence tendered before them to the extent that votes from 388 polling units were not credited to the APC and Hope Uzodinma.
