…Pro-Giadom forces take emergency NEC meeting to Villa
…Giadom cannot convene NEC Meeting, NWC declares
…Says no faction in national leadership

By Omeiza Ajayi


Forces aligned with the factional acting National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, Chief Victor Giadom, have concluded plans to convene an emergency meeting of the National Executive Committee, NEC, of the party.

The development, Vanguard learned, is a fallout of Monday’s meeting between President Muhammadu Buhari and three governors, Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi, Simon Lalong of Plateau and Abubakar Badaru of Jigawa states.

The three governors are seen within party circles as opposed to the leadership style of the suspended National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole.

The meeting would hold tomorrow at the Presidential Villa as opposed to having it at the traditional “NEC Meeting Hall” within the party’s national secretariat.

However, only a few of the 120-member NEC have been cleared to be physically present at the Villa as others would be required to the meeting through virtual means.

Also, the Inspector General of Police IGP, Muhammed Adamu yesterday ordered the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, command of the Nigeria Police Force to seal off the National Secretariat of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to avoid a break into the office of the Deputy National Secretary, Vanguard learned yesterday.

The decision which party sources said was necessitated by the need to ensure public order and safety in and around the secretariat, was largely as a result of an alleged attempt by the newly-inaugurated Deputy National Secretary, Barr. Worgu Boms, to access the office which is still occupied by the factional acting National Chairman of the party, Chief Victor Giadom.

It was learned that on Monday, there were moves to get Mr Boms into the office which was at the time under lock.


Chief Giadom had sprinted to the office at about midday and stayed for nearly two hours before leaving.

“That incident happened yesterday (Monday). So, in order to avoid a possible clash today (yesterday) the police decided to seal off the premises, while the IG would meet with the contending forces,” said a party source.

The secretariat was, however, reopened at about 3:30pm, less than four hours after it was sealed.

The South South Zonal chapter of the APC had on Sunday, upheld what it described as the resignation of Chief Victor Giadom from the National Working Committee NWC, urging the NWC to confirm and immediately swear in the zone’s nominee and replacement for the position of deputy national secretary, Worgu Boms.

Boms was inaugurated by the NWC on Monday, following which he was said to have made attempts to occupy his new office at the national secretariat.

The South-South Zonal Executive Committee had noted that it was in receipt of an interim Court Order in respect of the suit between Dele Moses & Ors Vs APC & Ors, with suit number PHC/360/2020; dated June 19, 2020.

“The said court order restrained Victor Giadom from further parading himself as the Deputy National Secretary, Acting National Chairman and as a member of the National Working Committee, NWC, of the APC. The Zonal Executive Committee, therefore, unanimously resolved to obey the court order.

“That having considered and approved the nomination of Barr. Boms Worgu from Rivers State by the South-South Zonal Executive Committee, Barr. Worgu is, therefore, affirmed to be the new Deputy National Secretary and a member of the National Working Committee of our great party, APC.

“It is, therefore, resolved that Barr. Boms Worgu’s nomination be confirmed by the National Working Committee, NWC, and sworn in immediately, pending ratification by the National Executive Committee, NEC, of our great party, the All Progressives Congress APC,’’ the committee stated.

Emergency NEC

Giadom in his letter to NEC said he was duly authorised through an order of court to act as National Chairman of the party.

“I, Chief Victor Giadom, having been duly authorized by court order to Act as National Chairman of our great party and to preside over all meetings of the NWC and NEC, hereby, and with the consent of President Muhammadu Buhari (who is the leader of our party) reconvene the NEC meeting that was earlier billed to hold on March 17, 2020, but was postponed.

‘’The reconvened meeting shall hold on Thursday, June 25, 2020. Venue shall be the State House, Abuja,” Giadom stated yesterday.

Constitutional breach

The emergency meeting, however, appears a breach of the party’s constitution which stipulates that, at least, a seven-day notice should be given to before such a meeting is held.

Article 25B(i and ii) of the APC Constitution (2014 as amended) states: “The National Executive Committee shall meet every quarter and/or at any time decided by the National Chairman or at the request made in writing by at least two-thirds of the of the National Executive Committee, NEC, provided not less than fourteen days’ notice is given for the meeting to be summoned.”

Reacting yesterday, the Senator Abiola Ajimobi-led National Working Committee, NWC, of the party, declared that there were no factions in the NWC, dismissing claims that a factional acting National Chairman of the party, Chief Victor Giadom, has fixed a meeting of the National Executive Committee, NEC, for tomorrow.

The Abiola Ajimobi-led NWC said Giadom had no locus to convene a NEC meeting.

Addressing a news conference at the NEC Meeting Hall in the party’s national secretariat, National Vice Chairman, South South, Hilliard Eta, who stood in for Sen. Ajimobi, said it was wrong to refer to 17 of 20 as a faction.

He said: “It is not right to refer to 17 , with 15 of them physically present and two who met with us physically as a faction. This is the National Working Committee NWC of the APC in Nigeria. I sit here on behalf of Senator Abiola Ajimobi as the acting Chairman of this party”.

No NEC

He restated the earlier position of the NWC on the status of Chief Giadom, saying he is no longer a member of the party let alone being a party official.

“If Victor Giadom is arranging a NEC, I believe that it is your responsibility as a member of the fourth estate of the realm to investigate his locus to find out whether he has the legal, the constitutional backing to be able to call a NEC meeting. As we speak, the hip of Chief Victor Giadom has been suspended by a competent court of jurisdiction in Port Harcourt this afternoon.

‘’Not only is he not a member of the NWC from today, his hip of the APC has been suspended. So, when you call him factional acting Chairman, we wonder why,” Eta said.

Acknowledges lifting of Oshiomhole’s suspension

Speaking further on the outcome of the NWC meeting which he said was physically attended by 15 and two others who attended virtually, Eta said; “The NWC is in receipt of communication from the Edo state chapter of our party with regards to the suspension of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole both by Ward 10 Estako west local and the Estako west local government chapter of our party. We acknowledged the reciept of same and accept the lifting of that suspension.

No crisis in APC

“You said our party Secretariat has become a battle ground and I walked in here, I never saw bullets, I never saw guns, I didn’t see anybody in camouflage. So, our part Secretariat is not a battle ground and the police has released an information to the entire country signed by Frank Mba, the Force PRO.

“It is not true that our party Secretariat has become a battle ground.”

"No crisis in APC"

Satan has finally engulfed APC.
APC is now on the edge.

They Will Drag The Party Down By Themsalve.

One is using the power of the court, the other is using NWC, why the doppelganger in aso rock is fighting internal war

APC

How APC as a party has survived this long amazes me; it should have long been dead before now. Useless party with strange bed fellows. They keep acting like people under a spell.

Giadom is just wasting his time. Let those anti-Oshiomole governors be pushing him foolishly. This guy is just deceiving himself.

Mannabqqgrills has disappeared if is to fight adaibeku she will stand gidigbam n talk trash,

Apc can't breathe ,Satan is kneeling on it's neck

Chief Giadom, goodluck to you, you too get mind unlike late Ajimobi who was a puppet of over hyped Tinubu,
Now the people giving Giadom mind we don't know we only suspect which makes it all the more exciting

Meanwhile, Wike has sent Worgu Boms to replace Amaechi's Giadom but this is some Game of thrones B.S
Giadom has the police + Aso rock and federal judiciary in his pocket while Wike has Rivers Judiciary in his pocket

So any Rivers Judgement will favour Wike and co. Whereas every federal Judgement will favour Giadom

Don't worry 2023 you will see the manifestations of all these
See what Barr. Worgu Boms said about Amaechi and what he said about Wike the man was put in APC by Wike as a mole

https://nationalnetworkonline.com/en/news/5561-worgu-boms-to-rotimi-ameachi-leave-wike-alone-and-rebuild-apc-rivers-state-before-we-can-take-you-serious-3

And for you unenlightened people Rivers state is not Igbo state 2 ethnic nationalities out of 26 in rivers state can understand Igbo language and they even bear names that are similar to Igbo names However they are not igbo this only happened due to close proximity and during the time of slavery Igbo slaves who were waiting to be shipped out of Africa at the ports in Ijaw states were stranded after shipping of slaves was abolished and policed by the British many did not want to return to Igbo land so that is were some Igbo names and words come from
Gbagyi Tiv and co. Are not Hausa even tho they speak Hausa even more than their own languages and many of them bear Hausa names now please let us be guided

This does not however mean we cannot work together it is just what it is Afterall don't forget Amaechi bears ROTIMI as well doesn't make him Yoruba

Covikk 1.9 party

As Undertaker wan re-sign soon...make them take the baton and continue from where he stopped

APC can't breathe

Wahala in Zlatan Ibile voice

Hahaha.......Act one scene two........We are watching.........this us what they have been doing with Nigerians since........confusionist!........No wonder we have been stagnant.

Damn. Enough of this show of disgrace

The problem of APC is simply Oshiomole. He would have been ousted long ago but APC are scared he could divulge a lot of secrets if he's removed.
Like Okorocha like Oshiomole.

Which yeye faction

There is no faction in APC

Giadom is a troll. He doesnt have a single NWC member on his side.

His hip status has been removed

He has been suspended by state executive committee.

The state chapter has nominated for his replacement , and the nomination of his replacement has been ratified by NWC.

no muscles to flex. Giadom is our authentic APC chairman.


he has the cabals on his side.

E be things o

I will be the last person to stand under the sun in one stadium with a broom or umbrella because I am ing one political party or the other, they are all the same, pdp apc, all same..

This Giadom guy has been heavily bribed to dis-stabilize the party. I don't know the intricacies but from what I've observed so far, I think he's on the wrong course. If that is true, I pray he fails.

The real NEC Meeting is the one recognized and authenticated by a court of competent jurisdiction led by High Chief Victor Giadom
A surrogate and illegal NEC/NWC led by Ajimobi cum Eta is an affront to judiciary and the are risking jail

PDP fighting over obaseki. apc fighting over chairmanship. Two very unserious parties filled with the same set of ppl

Lol... There is no faction in national APC. Giadom is just a clown.

By thursday (tomorrow), we will know who the real & authentic 'shiaman'. Tomorrow outcome will come as a shocker to some short devils & their online grade8 zombies.

Our God is good and alive. Na so he go scatter all enemies of Nigeria before and after the 2023 elections.
