The removal of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) by a pronouncement of the Federal High Court has thrown up a leadership challenge in the party.

The former Oyo State governor, Senator Isiaka Ajimobi, whose approval as Deputy National Chairman was announced today (Wednesday) may emerge as acting chairman.

By the provision of Article 14.2 of the APC Constitution 2010( as amended) the Deputy National Chairman, South should assume the exalted office of Chairman of the party in an acting capacity.

Article 14.2( i, ii, iii) stipulates the functions of the Deputy National Chairman, North/ South.

It reads in part: “Assist the national chairman in the discharge of his duties; Perform such functions as may be assigned to him from time to time by the National Working Committee; Shall act as the national chairman in the absence of the national chairman from his Zone.”

A statement issued by Lanre Isa-Onilu, Wednesday night, disclosed that a meeting of the national working committee held on January 14, 2020, reached a decision to ratify the immediate past Oyo State governor, senator Ajimobi as new deputy national chairman, South.

There are, however, other forces in the party who may resist the new realities.

This is expectedly in acting capacity, as the substantive Chairman when confirmed will most likely be from the North, to pave way for a southern APC presidential candidate.

Even a blind bat knows there is no way the APC will zone its ticket to the North for the 3rd consecutive time.

Arewa for Southern Presidency 2023

Issoryt...na Dem Dem Sha... Dem don give Oshiomole instant red card...no long story.

Just incase you need Pure Unadulterated Original Honey...Call/Whatsapp 081 0166 6771 Thanks and have a wonderful day ahead... Bless up fam

Children of hate have been gallivanting all over Nairaland shouting Tinubu hand is clipped just because of the toothless court case against Oshiomhole.

Now Ajimobi, another member of the Tinubu caucus might eventually be the acting chairman of APC pending the time the appeal court decides Oshiomhole case.

I’m 100% sure that Oshiomhole is going no where, he will still retain his chairmanship position and Obaseki is just venturing onto a fruitless cause.

Now they have cut short the orgasm of these Tinubu haters by this news. Nigeria Tribune why nao?

Y

This wan na National embarrassement!



Oga AO don suffer, Baba obaseki go dey dance Azonto for him head!

This crisis will finally make the Alliance of Past/Present Crooks, APC deliver their promises to our jobless youths whom barawo bubu turned around to call lazy.
