Ganduje Celebrates Okorocha’s Court Victory, Calls Ruling ‘Well-Deserved’ in Abuja Visit

According to a report by Daily Post on Thursday, October 29, 2026, former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, has congratulated former Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha following his victory at the Federal High Court in Abuja. Ganduje described the judgment as a deserved victory that had brought an end to a prolonged struggle by the former governor.

Ganduje paid a visit to Okorocha at his Abuja residence on Thursday, where he personally expressed happiness over the court’s decision. During the meeting, the former Kano State governor said he was delighted when he received news of the judgment, noting that the outcome had vindicated Okorocha after a difficult period.

Speaking during the visit, Ganduje said, “I was excited when I heard the judgment. It is a well-deserved victory and a vindication of your struggle,” emphasising his satisfaction with the ruling and his support for the former Imo State governor.

The Federal High Court in Abuja had recently delivered a judgment in a case concerning Okorocha’s property and political rights, ruling in his favour. The decision represents an important development in the legal battle involving the former governor and has attracted attention from political observers.

In his response, Okorocha appreciated Ganduje for taking the time to visit him, describing the former APC national chairman as a dependable friend and brother. He acknowledged the support and friendship demonstrated by Ganduje, particularly during challenging moments in his political journey.

The meeting also brought together two influential politicians who have played important roles within the APC and Nigeria’s political landscape. Ganduje previously served as governor of Kano State before becoming the party’s national chairman, while Okorocha governed Imo State for two consecutive terms.

Their meeting has generated discussions among political observers, particularly as Nigeria approaches the 2027 general elections. Some observers believe the visit could signal improved relations between the two former governors and potentially strengthen political connections within the APC.

However, no formal announcement or commitment regarding future political collaboration was made by either politician during the meeting.

Ganduje’s visit came shortly after the court delivered its judgment in Okorocha’s favour, providing an opportunity for the former APC chairman to publicly congratulate him and reaffirm their longstanding friendship.
