Victor Giadom Writes INEC, Says No Party Primaries Planned For Edo On Monday June 22

By Kemi Kasumu

In further exercisation of his powers as Acting National Chairman (ANC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Victor Giadom, has written a second letter to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) strongly informing the electoral umpire that there has been no governorship primary election scheduled to hold in Edo State on Monday June 22, 2020.

The INEC is allowed by the law to recognise and act on communications from national chairman of political parties. Earlier, such communications by Adams Oshiomhole had been nullified and voided by the Court of Appeal Abuja, which upheld March ruling of FCT Hugh Court suspending him as member and national chairman of the APC and specifically appointed Victor Giadom being the most senior in party hyrarchy as acting national secretary as at the time to take act as national chairman.

Chief Giadom has since notified the INEC on this latest development following his resumption at the party’s national Secretariat in Abuja.

In the second letter, dated Thursday June 18, 2020 boldly titled “No APC gubernatorial primary committee has been inaugurated for Edo State and no primaries planned for Monday June 22, 2020”, Chief Giadom said his leadership’s attention had been drawn to activities of some people including Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State to conduct party primaries in Edo State on Monday June 22.

He said neither was such plan or arrangement known to him or authorised by him as Acting National Chairman and such, that the INEC should not give its support or monitoring to them.

The letter addressed to the INEC Chairman said: “Reports reaching me is that some persons have perfected plans to conduct direct gubernatorial primaries for our great party in Edo State next week under the purported chairmanship of His Excellency Governor Hope Uzodinma on Monday, June 22, 2020.

“Kindly note that as the Acting Chairman of our party, I did not authorize such a committee, neither have I inaugurated one. The earlier announced date for the primaries that is June 22, 2020, has been postponed.

“You are therefore advised not to give any support to any such committee or to monitor any such primaries. A new date for the primaries would be communicated to you soonest. We regret the inconvenience this might cause your commission.

“A copy of this letter is being sent to the relevant law enforcement agencies and the Chairman of Edo State APC, Mr. Anselm Ojezua for their information and necessary actions,” Giadom said

APC, U guys will self destruct yourselves. Good enough, it doesn't matter to us cos honestly the political system in Nigeria imposes leaders on us, so we have really not been involved with who become our leaders. The little strength we have, we are using it for other profitable things. Keep fighting APC folks, we have glucose to energise you to continue fighting whenever u feel tired

Uuhhh

confusion everywhere

Do you really know who Trump is?

Inec should avoid the primary so as not to partisan politics. Currently, apshit is divided 20 million times against itself.

Awkward Moment for apc

Season film to sway gullible followers....

I swear this man only mission is to destroy APC completely and I wish him nothing but success.

This man should stop making mockery of himself. If he's the Acting National Chairman, he should name other members of the NWC he chairs, I wonder why he allowed himself to be pawn in the hands of disgruntled and paperweight politicians like Kayode Fayemi, Rótìmí Akérédolú and Rotimi Amaechi.

I think the man has some point. You can’t build something on nothing. If court has removed Adams before these actions were taken and Appeal also validated the removal, it simply means all his functions after the first ruling were null and void. As classified by the second ruling.
APC is only postponing the doom day.

everybody is a leader in APC, Breaking news am the new acting chairman of the party my primary election is Friday 26th June 2020. if you support like if u against share

Our chairman has spoken!
We are solidily beyan u chairmoo!!

God bless our shiaman

Every body in APC is a shiaman

Let him name his own committee for the election if he is not playing a script. Inec has a time limit
