Equation in the leadership of the All Progressives Congress is fast changing as President Muhammadu Buhari has endorsed Victor Giadom as the acting Chairman.
With the open endorsement on Wednesday, Buhari has shunned suspended Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, and the acting, Abiola Ajimobi.
The President made his stand known in a statement signed by Special Assistant on Media, Garba Shehu.
Giadom had twice obtained court injunctions authorising him to act as the national chairman of the party in the absence of Oshiomhole while another injunction had also stopped him from parading himself in the office.
Shehu who further explained that the president took the decision because he would always be guided by the law, advised the media to avoid promoting controversies that could further fuel the crisis.
He noted that the president would attend Giadom’s virtual NEC meeting Thursday along with governors and members of the National Assembly.
“The President has received very convincing advice on the position of the law as far as the situation in the party is concerned and has determined that the law is on the side of Victor Giadom as Acting National Chairman.
“Because the president will always act in accordance with the law, the President will be attending the virtual meeting Giadom called for tomorrow afternoon.
“We urge the media to stop promoting manufactured controversies and to not give any further room for mischievous interpretations of the law on this matter.
“In addition to the President, the Giadom meeting will, hopefully, be attended by our Governors and the leaders of the National Assembly,” he said.
