.....As Uneasy calm in Tinubu’s camp

Scheming for the control of the All Progressives Congress (APC) by various camps ahead of 2023 general elections has worsened the crisis rocking the ruling party, Daily Trust reports.

Two top chieftains of the party yesterday claimed to be its acting chairman following the suspension of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.

The chieftains represent two key camps of the party who are out to grab the leadership position. The upholding of the suspension of Oshiomhole by the Court of Appeal had created a vacuum in the leadership of the party.

To fill the vacuum, the National Working Committee (NWC) had named a former governor Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi as the acting national chairman of the party. However, at the party’s secretariat around 10:00 am yesterday, the Deputy National Secretary of the party, Chief Victor Giadom declared himself as the acting chairman of the party, puncturing the announcement by the NWC of the party.

While Ajimobi’s camp has the backing of the national leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Giadom, party sources said is of the camp of some serving and former governors. The camp is tagged ‘Amaechi/ El-Rufai camp.’

However, some sources in Progressives Governor’s Forum indicated that there were moves to bring back Obaseki to the party in view of the new developments.

One of the sources said, “Oshiomhole had been the stumbling block and he is out of the equation for now. “We strongly feel that we have to work for our colleague, Governor Obaseki who did nothing wrong.

“Now that he is gone, even those who claim to be national leaders or whatever have been checkmated. “Governors would have their way because they are with the people at the grassroots.

“They would not allow the interest of few individuals to hold Nigeria to ransom,” he said. Giadom’s claim Citing a court order, Giadom said he is the acting national chairman of the party and announced that a fresh screening would be conducted for all aspirants who intend to seek for governorship tickets of the party in Edo and Ondo states.

Describing Ajimobi’s appointment as illegal and unconstitutional, he cited a subsisting court order issued on March 16, 2020, by Justice S.U. Bature, in suit no FCT /HC/M/6447/2020 as basis for his ascension to office.

“That order could not immediately come to effect at that time because of the temporary reprieve Oshiomhole got from the Court of Appeal,” Giadom said.

“However, having removed the temporary reprieve yesterday (Tuesday) by the Court of Appeal and considering the fact that we cannot allow for a vacuum, I most humbly inform you that I have assumed office as acting national chairman of our great party in compliance with the order of the court,” he said.

Uneasy calm in Tinubu’s camp

Daily Trust gathered from reliable sources that the unfolding drama in the national secretariat of the APC is causing uneasy calm in the camp of the Tinubu.

Tuesday’s sack of Oshiomhole reportedly jolted the supporters of Asiwaju who is believed to have the ears and the eyes of Oshiomhole. But the confirmation of Ajimobi by the NWC of the party was seen as a relief to the camp of Asiwaju.

The APC leader who is rumoured to be nursing 2023 presidential ambition and Ajimobi are close political associates. In fact, the emergence of Ajimobi as the deputy national chairman (South) of the party was said to have the strong backing of Tinubu.

“We are relieved that at the end of the day, it is a win-win for the Asiwaju’s camp with the confirmation of Ajimobi,” a source said. Contacted, spokesman of Lagos APC, Seye Oladejo said the state chapter of the party stands by the position of the NWC.

He said people would always want to drag Asiwaju to the crisis in the party, adding, “This is because Asiwaju has become a recurring decimal in Nigeria politics.” Irrespective of that, Oladejo reiterated that the Lagos APC stands by the NWC.

“We are for law and order and there is nothing to worry about. Going by the statement of the NWC affirming Ajimobi as the acting national chairman, we believe there is no issue again. That is our position in Lagos APC because that is in tandem with the constitution,” he said.

Share 4 obaseki like for oshomole

Best option for Him (Obaseki) is to decamp from APC, for him to text is political power either win or loose you become an hero

The president of any country is like a father and the citizens are like his children. The children may have their differences but a good and strong father will provide purposeful leadership.

It is better to be an orphan than to have a weak and clueless father. What manner of a father will be nonchalant watching his children fighting naked in the market place?

Father, please wake up and take charge -Your children are bleeding!

How would Ize iyamu be feeling now.. poor Ize

Nigeria Bar Association members Right now

Tinubu go hear am soon, them just they use the fool. Yoruba's would always be Yoruba's except those that are independent minded

Obaseki is gone already.

My sperm is thicker than it.

Funny media speculations all over the place just to keep some people happy and sell their newspaper. APC primary will go on as scheduled while Obaseki will join PDP or any other party. Any news other than this is nonsense.

Ajimobi is the acting national chairman of APC while Giadom is just playing around and enjoying the spotlight.

Ugabi say EHN EHN

Obaseki would be a big fool to return to APC. He better not try it. It is a trap.

Obaseki must know that APC wants to ambush him knowing fully well they have lost Edo. If he falls to their bait they will still humiliate him when chances of going to another party is foreclosed

Thickens how? And u think Obaseki is a pampers wearing baby to be jolted about?? That governor knows he is defecting, and with the many litigations in APC he won't want to be doomed staying in the APC. He only brilliantly doesn't want to make the President feel he left because of his arrogance, so the president can be neutral on the election day proper. Obaseki now gets so cautious to say kind words about the president and demonize everyone else under the Oshiomole's camp.

hmmmm

Damnnnnn niggarri
Isoright

Oshiomole is willing to give his life in exchange to ensure obaseki fails.

Obaseki has to thread circumspectly.

Lol

This film go tough ooh
At the end of the day the people of the state won't benefit anything from all these power hustle and tussle
It is better to watch from a distance
