Former Governor Rochas Okorocha has sued the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for publishing Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State as the candidate for the 2027 Imo West Senatorial District election.
Okorocha, in the suit filed by his lawyer, O.J. Aboje, joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a defendant.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the originating summons, filed on 13 August, is marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/1854/2026.
The applicant, also a former senator, posed five questions for determination.
He wants the court to determine whether INEC is not bound by the reports of its officers who monitored the APC primaries, duly conducted on 18 May for the nomination of its candidate for the Imo West Senatorial District for the 2027 general elections, which he claims he won.
