Giadom Is Working For Fifth Columnists – Yekini Nabena

The Deputy Spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress, Yekini Nabena, has accused the factional Acting National Chairman of the party, Victor Giadom, of working with fifth columnists to destroy the party.

Recall that Giadom, on Monday forwarded a letter to the Independent National Electoral Commission claiming that the party’s governorship primary in Edo State is illegal.

Giadom in the letter forwarded to the electoral body, advised INEC not to recognise the outcome of the primary election.

He stated, “Reports reaching me are that some persons have perfected conducting direct governorship primary for our great party in Edo State, next week under the purported chairmanship of His Excellency, Governor Hope Uzodinma, on Monday, June 22, 2020.”

“Kindly note that as acting national chairman of our party, l did not authorise such a committee, neither have l inaugurated one. The earlier announced date for the primary, that is June 22, 2020 has been postponed. You are, therefore, advised not to give any support to any such committee or to monitor any such primary. A new date for the primary would be communicated to you soonest. We regret the inconvenience this might cause your commission.”

“A copy of this letter is being sent to the relevant law enforcement agencies, the Chairman of Edo State APC, Mr Anslem Ojezua, for their information and necessary actions.”

Nabena who faulted Giadom’s letter to INEC said, “The letter written by Giadom to INEC simply shows he is working with fifth columnists to destroy our party. We know their game plan. They don’t want our party to retain Edo State or even produce a governor in the South-South so that they can remain relevant.”

“Yes, we agree, we have problems in our party and we are addressing them but of what use is his letter to INEC? What does he and the people he is working for want to achieve?”
