Court Reaffirms Giadom Acting APC Chairman

Malik Yahya/

A federal capital territory (FCT) high court has reaffirmed Victor Giadom as the acting national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The court also ruled that the party’s national vice-chairman, north-east, Mustapha Salihu, should act as national secretary.

The rulings of the court today followed ex parte motions filed by Salihu.

Justice S.U. Bature held that his ruling would subsist pending the time the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party convenes and takes a decision or determination of the suit.

Crisis erupted in the party following Tuesday’s appeal court judgment upholding the suspension of Adams Oshiomhole as national chairman.

An Abuja high court in March ordered the suspension of Oshiomhole as national chairman of the APC.

While the party announced former Oyo State governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, as acting chairman, Giadom declared himself as national chairman.

But members of the national working committee (NWC) of the party met yesterday and nominated APC vice-chairman, south-south, Hilliard Eta, to act on behalf of Ajimobi who was “unavoidably absent”.
