Victor Giadom, the deputy National Secretary of the All
Progressives Congress, APC has resigned.
Giadom, a former ally of Oshiomhole turned foe, claimed this
morning that he was the acting national chairman of the APC, following
court-ordered suspension of Adams Oshiomhole.
Giadom resigned last year to run as deputy governor.
Today, in a dramatic twist, the APC National Working
Committee, formally accepted his resignation, knocking the bottom out of his
claim as APC acting chair.
The development introduced another dimension to the
ping-pong drama playing out at the APC National Secretariat.
In another move, 18 members of the NWC re-affirmed
bed-ridden Ajimobi as the acting national cahairman, in the absence of
Oshiomhole.
But because of the Ajimobi’s absence, the NWC also picked
Prince Hilliard Etta to act on Sen. Ajimobi’s behalf.
Publicity secretary, Lanre Issa-Onilu said the party’s
action is backed by its constitution.
The party’s constitution, “empowers the NWC to appoint one
of its members in acting capacity and stipulates that the acting National
chairman must be from the zone of the National Chairman”, Onilu said.
In the meantime, the NWC has trashed Giadom’s cancellation
of the Edo governorship screening, which disqualified Governor Godwin Obaseki
as candidate.
The party has also constituted a primary election committee
for Edo headed by Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo and election appeal committee
headed by Professor Mustapha Bello.
The election via direct primary is scheduled for 22nd June,
2020.
Election Appeal is scheduled for Wednesday 24 June.
Here are the members of the two committees:.
