Imo State Governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha, has urged chairman of the National Judicial Council and the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court in Abuja to discountenance the petition written by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission against Justice Taiwo Taiwo for lack of merit.
Okorocha, in the letter to the NJC chairman and FHC Chief Judge titled: ‘Re: EFCC Reports Justice Taiwo to NJC over Restraining Order on Okorocha, Saraki’, stated that “contrary to the impression being created by the EFCC through its chairman, the order granted by Justice Taiwo was made pursuant to two fundamental human rights suits that I filed before the court.
He added: “My political opponents accused me of nursing an ambition to contest for the position of the Deputy Senate President. In their reasoning, they said the position would give me an edge to contest as president in 2023, so everything must be done to get me out of the way.” Meanwhile, the Imo State governor has also stated that his current political battles, especially the seizure of his Certificate of Return as the Imo West senator-elect, were only preparingOkorocha, who spoke yesterday during his valedictory thanksgiving service held at the Government House Chapel in Owerri, said that “those who want me to go to prison will go to prison before me.”
