No Leadership Vacuum in APC, Says Party Spokesman
Following an order of the Federal Capital Territory High court that renewed an order given in March for the party’s Deputy National Secretary, Chief Victor Giadom, to act as the national chairman of the party after the suspension of Mr. Adams Oshiomhole by an order of the Appeal court, the All Progressives Congress has insisted that there is no leadership vacuum to fill.
Issa-Onilu stated: “The attention of the All Progressives Congress has been drawn to an Exparte Order allegedly granted in favor of Victor Giadom in suit no: FCT/HC/M/6447/2020. A cursory look at the said Order will reveal that it was granted on March 16, 2020 to fill a purportedly vacant office of National Chairman ahead of a National Executive Committee meeting which turned out to have been convened in contravention of the APC Constitution.
Issa-Onilu stressed that in furtherance of the above and complying with Article 14.2 of the APC Constitution, Ajimobi assumed the position of acting National Chairman on March 13, 2020, noting that Article 14.2 provides: “The Deputy National Chairman shall act as National Chairman in the absence of the National Chairman from his zone”.
He stressed further that an order of injunction was granted restraining the respondents themselves, their agents, privies and/or officers jointly or severally from proceeding to take any further steps to give effect to the said ruling Issa-Onilu added that the said exparte order was granted pursuant to the High Court of the FCT Civil Procedure Rules 2018. Order 43 Rules 3 and of thereof provides: The court may upon application extend the effective period of an ex-parte if he satisfied that the motion on notice has been served and that such extension is necessary in the interest of justice or to prevent an irreparable or serious mischief.
