Acting national chairman of the dissolved National Working Committee of the All Progressive Congress, Mr Victor Giadom, has said; “there is No Victor, No Vanquished” in the decisions taken by the ruling party’s National Executive Committee on Thursday.
Giadom in his reaction to the APC NEC’s decision said, in a press statement, that he stood by his initial stance of being contented with “the outcome of today’s APC NEC meeting.
“I had earlier said that the collective decision of the entire NEC will prevail in today’s meeting. I also promised to stand by any decision decided.
“…there is No Victor, No Vanquished. The Togetherness and cohesion Of Our Great Party Has Always Been Our Prayers.”
President Muhammadu Buhari had on Wednesday endorsed Giadom as the eligible person for the acting national chairman position following the suspension of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday that “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.”
But the APC NEC, in an effort to mitigate damages the power tussle in the party had caused, decided to dissolve the NWC and constituted a Caretaker Committee and Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee.
