  "summary": "Rochas Okorocha, former Governor of Imo State, has urged his successor, Hope Uzodimma, to caution his aides against attacking the judiciary over a recent Federal High Court decision that nullified Okorocha's victory in the 2027 All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial primary in Imo West District. Okorocha called on Uzodimma to pursue his appeal to the Supreme Court rather than allow his supporters to denigrate the judiciary. The former governor expressed his disapproval of comments made by Uzodimma's Deputy Chief of Staff and the APC National Vice Chairman, who were reportedly critical of the court's decision, describing it as \"rubbish\" and \"procured.\" Okorocha emphasized the importance of respecting the court's decision and maintaining a civil discourse, stating that such behavior does not reflect well on the nation.",
