Giadom, Udosen Remain APC South-South Leaders – NWC

The party in a statement in Abuja on Monday by the National Publicity Secretary ( NPS), Barrister Felix Morka, said the two officials remain the leaders of the party in the zone.

The decision to sack Giadom and Udosen was taken at an extraordinary meeting held in Port Harcourt by the zonal chapter of the party at the weekend.

The two leaders were removed in line with sections 13, 25, 14, and 21 of the APC constitution for refusing to call for meetings and scuttling every effort to gather together to transact the political business of the zone among other allegations.

But Morka said the party officials who announced the removal of Giadom and Udosen lacked the power to do so.

“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,” Morka declared.
