Chief Wole Afolab Counsel to the plaintiff said that Appeal Court had recognised Victor Giadom as the Acting Chairman of APC
Afolabi made the statement in a press release made available to Aluta News in Abuja on Wednesday
He said the attention had been drawn to a statement purportedly issued by the Publicity Secretary of the APC, to the effect that Sen. Abiola Ajumobi is to act as the National Chairman of APC, following the suspension from office of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole by the Court of Appeal.
“We wish to state that the statement must have been issued in complete ignorance of the order of the FCT High Court issued on 16th of March, 2020, by Hon. Justice S.U Bature in Suit No. FCT/HC/M/6447/2020 to the effect that Chief Victor Giadom is to act as the National Chairman of the party.
“This is due to the suspension of Adams Oshiomhole as the National Chairman,”he said.
He added that the order was given the same day that the Court of Appeal earlier gave Oshiomhole a temporary respite by staying the execution of the said order suspending Oshiomhole.
” Now that the Court of Appeal has affirmed the order of suspension, it is only proper that the order recognizing Chief Victor Giadom is implemented.
Afolabi said all law-enforcement agencies had been written, to implement the said order, adding,” any one who attempts to parade himself/herself other than Chief Victor Giadom as the Acting Chairman of the APC would be facing contempt of court proceedings.
