Abuja (Precise Post) – The acting national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who is also the National Vice Chairman (South-south), Hilliard Eta, has said that Chief Victor Giadom has no locus standi to convene the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party.
Recall that Giadom, had in a statement on Tuesday scheduled a virtual meeting of the National Executive Council (NEC) for Thursday, June 25, at the State House Abuja, claiming to have the consent of President Muhammadu Buhari.
But Eta while responding to a question after the meeting of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party Tuesday insisted that Giadom had been suspended by a competent court of law.
He cited Article 25B(i and ii) of the APC Constitution (2014 as amended) which states; “The National Executive Committee shall meet every quarter and or at any time decided by the National Chairman or at the request made in writing by at least two-thirds of the members of the National Executive Committee provided that not less than fourteen days’ notice is given for the meeting to be summoned.
“Without prejudice to Article 25(B)(i) of this Constitution, the National Working Committee may summon an emergency National Executive Committee meeting at any time, provided that at least seven days’ notice of the meeting shall be given to all those entitled to attend”.
Eta stated categorically that Giadom was no longer a member of the NWC and that he had been suspended as a member of the party.
