Former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, has urged his successor, Hope Uzodimma, and his aides to refrain from insulting judges following the recent Federal High Court ruling that dismissed Okorocha's candidacy for the Imo West Senatorial District election. Okorocha recommended that Uzodimma and his team should instead focus on appealing the decision to the Supreme Court rather than disparaging the judiciary.

At the Federal High Court in Abuja, Okorocha criticized the recent insults directed at a judge, stating that they were uncivilized and damaging to the nation's reputation. He also expressed disappointment that Uzodimma's aides, including his Deputy Chief of Staff whose wife is a judge, had resorted to such behavior. Okorocha called on Uzodimma to caution his team and advised them to patiently pursue their appeals through the Supreme Court.
