Oshiomhole's suspension : APC's NWC divided

Following the judgement affirming Comrade Adams Oshiomhole’s suspension as the National Chairman, members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have been divided into two factions.

On Tuesday, a three member panel of justices led by Justice Eunice Onyemenam held that Oshiomhole’s appeal challenging his suspension was unmeritorious.⁣

At the party National Secretariat in Abuja, a faction of the NWC led by Mr Victor Giadom said that he had assumed duty as acting National Chairman following an earlier judgement by Justice S.U. Bature of Abuja High Court.⁣

“Yesterday the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja, in a unanimous judgement, affirmed the suspension of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as the National Chairman of All Progressives Congress.⁣

Consequently, I bring to your notice that on March 16, Hon Justice S.U. Bature in suit no FCT/HC/M/6447/2020 had ordered that, with the earlier suspension of Oshiomhole, I, Chief Victor Giadom should act as National Chairman of the party.⁣

That order could not be immediately effected at that time because of the temporary reprieve Oshiomhole got from the Court of Appeal on the same date.⁣

Having removed the temporary reprieve yesterday by the Court of Appeal and since we cannot allow a vacuum, I most humbly inform you that I have assumed office as Acting National Chairman,’’ he said.
