Victor Giadom

Few hours after the appointment of ex-Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, as the Acting National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) party, the party's Deputy National Secretary "Victor Giadom" has taken over the position. 

In a statement from the legal counsel to Giadom, Oluwole Afolabi noted that a court had recognized Giadom as the Acting National Chairman of the APC. Hence, an earlier statement issued by the party affirming Abiola Ajimobi as the Acting National Chairman must have been issued out in error, as it is against the order of the FCT High Court issued on the 16th of March, 2020. Details attached below;

The statement also warns Ajimobi from parading as the Acting Chairman as he would face the contempt of the law if he does. 

Meanwhile, Giadom has reversed all decisions taken by the Adams Oshiomhole leadership on the party's primary in Edo state. While addressing newsmen in Abuja, he called on all APC aspirants including Governor Obaseki of Edo state for a fresh screening process.
