An FCT High Court on Thursday extended an order earlier permitting Victor Giadom to act as the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress to 14 days.
This came on the heels of the Appeal Court’s affirmation of suspension of the National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, on Wednesday.
Mr Giadom has since signaled he would lead the party to reconduct the Edo primary screening. An earlier screening conducted under Mr Oshiomhole disqualified Godwin Obaseki, the incumbent governor.The judge, Samira Bature, had on March 16 granted the interim order in a motion ex-parte, marked FCT/HC/M/6447/2020, filed by APC National Vice Chairman , Mustapha Salihu.
The applicant also sought an interim order restraining the APC and its officers or anyone purporting to act as an officer of the 4th defendant from preventing or in any way disturbing Mr Giadom from functioning as the acting chairman.
