The South-South Stakeholders’ Forum of the All Progressives Congress has urged the party to respect its zoning arrangement by appointing the acting National Secretary, Victor Giadom, as National Chairman in the place of Adams Oshiomhole.
This was contained in a communiqué at the end of the APC South South leaders meeting on Friday in Abuja.
The communique said: “We insist that the party should respect the present zoning arrangement by retaining the chairmanship of our great party in the South South zone, even in acting capacity.
“We also resolved that the most senior party officer from the zone being the Acting National Secretary, Chief Victor Giadom, should be made Acting Chairman for the time being.”
The communiqué commended Giadom for rising to the occasion by providing leadership for the party in its trying times.
It said: “We urge all our brothers and sisters from the zone to fully embrace the National Executive Committee meeting and not boycott the Emergency NEC meeting slated for March 17.
“This is because boycott in a democratic environment is counterproductive.”
The meeting was attended by APC leaders in all the six states of the zone, comprising seven ministers and seven members of National Assembly among others.
