• Buhari assures APC governors of end to party’s serial crises• After suspension, Giadom writes INEC, says Edo primary illegalThe All Progressives Congress National Reconciliation Committee has receiv
ed no fewer than 170 petitions from aggrieved party members across the country.
The party’s Deputy National Secretary, Victor Giadom, who last week declared himself as the acting national chairman following the National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole’s suspension by the Court of Appeal, disowned the governorship primary election conducted by the APC on Monday in Edo State. But the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, rejected the composition of the committee arguing that it would not be fair to him.
Asked if the committee had received additional petitions since the last time the panel met, he said, “Additional memos keep tickling in but not as many. We have about 170 memos from party members. We have our job cut out for us.”Giadom writes INEC, says Edo primary illegal During the inauguration at the party’s national secretariat, the National Vice-Chairman, Hilliard Eta, urged the new deputy national secretary to be serious with his responsibility.The Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, faulted Giadom’s letter to INEC. He said, “The letter written by Giadom to INEC simply shows he is working with fifth columnists to destroy our party. We know their game plan.
They said, “That having considered and approved the nomination of Boms Worgu, from Rivers State, by the South-South Zonal Executive Committee, Worgu is therefore affirmed to be the new deputy national secretary and a member of the National Working Committee of our great Party, the All Progressives Congress.”Also on Monday, some protesters, under the aegis of Concerned Members of the APC, stormed the party’s national secretariat to demand the sacking of the NWC.
“Just as the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is killing corruption before corruption kills Nigeria, as a party, we must do away with the present National Working Committee before it kills the party completely, the time is now!Meanwhile, the President on Monday assured governors elected on the platform of the APC that all the crises rocking the ruling party would soon be resolved.
The governor said, “The reason for our visit is to discuss with the President, as our party leader and as the leader that millions of Nigerians trust, to discuss party issues and the position of the progressive governors to support all steps to unify and bring about peaceful resolution in our party, the All Progressives Congress.
