Okorocha Completes APC Presidential Screening

Former Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha has completed the presidential screening of the All Progressives Congress.

However, a Federal High Court in Abuja granted him bail on Tuesday morning in the sum of N500 million and a surety in like sum.

After his screening, he thanked his supporters for standing by him and insisted that Nigeria needs a detribalised leader like him to pilot the affairs of the nation.
