The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has denied the alleged dismissal of APC South-South Zonal Chairman Victor Giadom and Secretary Ita Udosen.
WITHIN NIGERIA reports that Giadom and Udosen’s removal was ratified in a special resolution signed on Saturday in Port Harcourt by acting zonal Chairman/Zonal Organizing Secretary, Blessing Agbomhere; and acting Zonal Secretary/Zonal Special Leader, Chief Edet Ita Asia.
Ebimobowei Oyas, Zonal Youth Leader, and Mrs. Cynthia Princewill, Zonal Woman Leader, were also signatories.
They were accused of refusing to call meetings and disrupting every attempt by members of the zonal executive committee to call meetings to conduct the zone’s political business.
According to the resolution, the APC vice chairman for the zone flatly refused to accept or receive complaints and petitions from other states in the region.
In response to the development, the APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, called the action illegal and unconstitutional.
According to the APC spokesperson, the act was committed by individuals who lacked the authority to make such a decision.
He said;
The attention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to media reports regarding a statement credited to some members of the South-South Zonal Executive Committee of the Party purportedly removing Chief Victor Giadom and Chief Ita Udosen from their positions as Chairman and Secretary of the Zonal Executive Committee, respectively.
The action of the individuals, who are also signatories to the statement issued in the name of South-South Zonal Executive Committee, is without lawful or constitutional authority, therefore a nullity, and should be disregarded.
Giadom and Udosen are, and remain, the South-South Zonal Vice Chairman and Secretary of the Party, respectively.
