The national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Adams Oshiomhole, on Monday appointed Mr. Basil Ejidike the acting chairman of the party in Anambra State.
This is coming on the heels of the judgement of a Federal High Court sitting in Akwa, which nullified the election of the APC chairman in the state.
Oshiomhole’s decision was contained in his January 11, 2019 letter addressed to Anambra State Deputy Chairman of the party, communicating the decision of the National Working Committee (NWC).
The appointment letter, which was made available to TheNiche reads:
“I wish to convey the decision of the National Working Committee (NWC) to appoint you (Hon. Basil Ejidike) as Acting Chairman in line with the provisions of our Party’s Constitution.
“You are hereby appointed as Acting State Chairman with all powers and privileges of the Office of State Chairman and you are to work harmoniously with the stakeholders, State executives and all our candidates in the State.
“I want to use this opportunity to extend goodwill and best wishes of the National Working Committee (NWC) and equally encourage you to remain committed towards ensuring the success of all our candidates in the forthcoming General Elections.”
