Court stops okorocha from swearingm in new deputy

I think there may be a small mistake in your question. It seems like you meant to ask "Court stops Okorocha from swearing in new deputy".

To answer your question, yes, it is true. A court in Nigeria has stopped Rochas Okorocha, the former Governor of Imo State, from swearing in his preferred candidate as the new Deputy Governor of the state.

According to reports, Okorocha had nominated Prof. Placid Njoku as his preferred candidate for the position of Deputy Governor, but the court has issued an injunction stopping the swearing-in ceremony.

The court's decision was based on a suit filed by the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Gerald Irona, who is also a contestant for the position of Deputy Governor. Irona had alleged that the process of selecting Njoku as Okorocha's preferred candidate was illegal and unconstitutional.

The court has ordered that the swearing-in ceremony be put on hold until the matter is resolved. This means that the new Deputy Governor of Imo State has not been officially sworn in yet.
