A Rivers High Court has restrained former Deputy National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Victor Giadom, from parading himself as a member or officer of the party.
Justice C. Nwogu gave the order in a suit filed by Okechukwu Chidor Ogbonna and Mac-Lords Peterson against APC Rivers chapter; Acting chairman of the chapter, Igo Aguma; Victor Giadom and Golden Chioma in Port-Harcourt.
The court stated that having been suspended by the State Executive Committee (SEC) of APC, Giadom should not participate in the activities of the party pending determination of the substantive case.
The judge ruled: “An order of interim order is hereby made, restraining the third defendant from parading himself as an officer or member… or exercising any right or privilege accruable to members….”
The Judge adjourned further hearing in the suit to July, 9 2020.
Recall that the APC Rivers Chapter had forwarded Barrister Worgu Boms as replacement to the National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC.
He was admitted into and sworn in on Monday to fill the seat reportedly resigned from by Gaidom in 2019 when he sought to contest election as APC’s deputy governorship candidate.
The court had barred the APC from the general election because the executives of the party that conducted the primary election that produced the candidates were illegally constituted.
