Former Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha has weighed in on Governor Hope Uzodimma’s declaration of changing the name of Eastern Palm University to K. O. Mbadiwe University right after the son of the late politician and ambassador, Greg Mbadiwe absconded to the APC.
Imo West Senator who stated that the university was established by two parties added that it will be sneering if the consent or agreement of the two parties involved is not considered.

According to Okorocha, the “repeal only existed in the imaginations of those behind it”. He said;
“The law establishing the University prescribed the PPP arrangement.
“Since that was the setting, the Assembly, therefore, defaulted or had acted in contravention of the law by not getting the consent or agreement of the two parties involved, on the reported repeal.
“In other words, the repeal only existed in the imaginations of those behind it.”
The Senator who noted that the assembly and the government disregarding the main party and the court matter will only make their actions questionable vowed that nothing can be done about it until the court decides on the matter.
Okorocha added;
“For both the Assembly and the government to be taking one-sided decisions on the fate of the university, without reference to the main party and the court matter, has only made their actions questionable and contemptuous.
“A university is not a street one can rename or change its name at a polling unit where he had gone to revalidate his membership of APC. So, the claimed renaming of the university does not add up in reality.
“The purported repeal of the law establishing the university without recourse to the position of one of the parties has also made the Assembly a willing party in the matter in court.
“Until the court decides on the matter before it, there is nothing anybody can do about that.”
