The APC has been in a leadership crisis since last week after the Court of Appeal Abuja upheld the suspension of Adams Oshiomole as its National Chairman. While Victor Giadom, a suspended deputy National Chairman is insisting he is the acting National Chairman of the party, the National Working Committee approved the appointment of former Oyo state governor, Abiola Ajimobi, as the acting chairman of the party.

Due to Ajimobi’s ailing state after testing positive hospitalized for contracting Coronavirus, the party approved the appointment of Hilliard Eta, the Vice-Chairman of the APC (south-south), as the acting Chairman pending the time Ajimobi will assume office.
