BREAKING : Victor Giadom declares self APC National Chairman
The Deputy National Secretary of the All Progressive Congress, Victor Giadom has declared himself as the new Acting National Chairman of the party on Wednesday.
Speaking with journalists, Giadom based his take over of the party on the order of the trial court that initially suspended Oshiomhole.
“I bring to your notice that on the 16th of March, 2020, Hon. Justice S. U Bature in suit no FCT/HC/M/6447/2020 had ordered that, with the earlier suspension of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, I, Chief Hon. Victor Giadom should act as the National Chairman of our great party”, he said.
“That order could not be immediately effected at the time because of the temporary reprieve Adams Oshiomhole got from the court of appeal on the same date”.
“However, having removed the temporary reprieve yesterday by the Court of Appeal and considering the fact that we cannot allow for a vacuum, I most humbly inform you that I have assumed office as Acting National Chairman of our great party in compliance with the order of the court”.
Giadom further said, “As your Acting National Chairman and presiding officer in the NWC, we therefore cancel the decision of the Screening and Appeal Committees of the former Chairman of the party on the Edo primary”.
A statement by the APC on Tuesday, named Abiola Ajimobi, former governor of Oyo State, as the acting national chairman of the party, following the appeal court order.
