Giadom is APC's authentic acting Chairman - Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has reiterated that Victor Giadom is the authentic acting national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).⁣

Giadom has been at the centre of a leadership crisis in the party that kicked off when a Court of Appeal in Abuja upheld the suspension of Adams Oshiomhole as national chairman.⁣

A majority of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) ratified the appointment of former Oyo governor, Abiola Ajimobi, who’s also the party’s deputy national chairman (South), as its acting national chairman.⁣

Due to Ajimobi’s current hospitalisation with the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), Hilliard Etta, the party’s vice-chairman (South-South), was appointed to act on his behalf.⁣

However, Giadom declared himself the acting national chairman, claiming that he was entitled to take over from Oshiomhole because a court had granted such a request in March 2020.⁣

Despite the opposition of a majority of the party’s NWC against Giadom’s claim, Buhari announced on Wednesday, June 24 that the position of the law favours the deputy national secretary.
