Former Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has warned his successor and incumbent governor, Hope Uzodinma, that justice is not for sale.

Okorocha sent this strong warning on Thursday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

He was reacting to his victory at the Federal High Court in Abuja which declared him as the authentic All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate for Imo West Senatorial District.

Okorocha said the judiciary has proven that justice is not for sale to the highest bidder.

“My name was all over the world that I forged documents. I waited for the court to decide. Today, the court has agreed with me. Justice is not for sale,” he said.

Okorocha accused Uzodinma of submitting a document claiming he emerged by consensus on May 16, two days before the actual primary on May 18.

“INEC even certified a judgment for him saying he emerged by consensus. The same group submitted a document by himself saying his election took place on the 16th, two days before the actual election,” he revealed.

He dared anyone dissatisfied with the judgment to go on appeal.

“All the courts agreed with me. But if they want to appeal, let them appeal. I’ll tackle them,” Okorocha declared.
