Rivers APC suspends Giadom
The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Sunday suspended the former Deputy National Secretary of the party, Mr. Victor Giadom, for acts of gross infractions against the party’s constitution.
The Media Adviser to APC Chairman in Rivers State, Livingstone Wechie, said in a statement that the suspension followed the recommendations of the party’s fact-finding committee.
Giadom, who resigned from the APC National Working Committee (NWC) ahead of the 2019 general election, had been laying claim to the party’s acting National Chairman position following the suspension of Adams Oshiomhole by the Court of Appeal last Tuesday.
According to the statement, the committee recommended that “Giadom be immediately suspended from the APC and every party activities for his numerous infractions of the party constitution and conduct, which had caused the party irredeemable disrepute.”
