Africa Press-Nigeria:
Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and an ally to the Minister of Transport, Chibuike Amaechi, has congratulated the Deputy National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Victor Giadom, who recently declared himself the acting National Chairman of the ruling party following the suspension of Adams Oshiomhole.
Following the affirmation of the suspension of Oshiomhole by the Appeal Court in Abuja on Tuesday, Giadom insisted that he is best positioned to occupy the office in acting capacity shortly after the party’s National Working Committee, NWC, picked former Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi for the office.
The battle for Oshiomhole’s temporary replacement begun after Ajimobi’s appointment.
However, Giadom insisted that the order of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT High Court issued on March 16, 2020 by Hon. Justice S.U Bature in Suit No. FCT/HC/M/6447/2020 to the effect that he is to act as the National Chairman of the party following the suspension of Oshiomhole remains valid.
Giadom later arrived at the APC’s national secretariat Abuja on Wednesday morning where he held a press conference, declaring himself as the authentic acting National Chairman.
The situation became messier when the Vice Chairman of the APC (South South) Prince Hilliard Eta, took over as the ruling party’s Acting National Chairman and sacked Giadom as the party’s Deputy National Secretary.
And Eze, a former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party, nPDP, in a statement to DAILY POST on Wednesday, insisted that any other person who parades himself as the acting party chairman of the party apart from Giadom, will be violating valid court judgment
On the appointment of Ajimobi, Eze pointed out that the Chairman’s Office is zoned to South South and any other opinion will be a violation.
