The signals emanating from the All Progressives Congress, APC clearly indicate that the party is heading towards a bottomless pit three years ahead 2023 general elections.
The declaration of the National Deputy Secretary, Victor Giadom that he remains the only authentic acting National chairman of the party is a dangerous signal to the existence of APC.
Here is a man who resigned to contest as deputy governor last year and his resignation was ratified on Tuesday only to still boldly claim ownership of a chairmanship in the party clearly shows that APC is truly on a life support machine.
In civilsed climes, the mere suspension of a party chairman is not enough to throw a national party into disarray as the situation in APC depicts today.
As at on Wednesday, four party chieftains, Victor Giadom, Hilliard Eta, Abiola Ajimobi and Shaibu Lawal were names being dangled as acting National chairmen of a supposed ruling party in Nigeria.
Giadom, who arrived at the APC’s national secretariat Abuja Wednesday morning, called for the screening exercise that resulted in the disqualification of the Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, to be cancelled and asked the aspirants to reappear for fresh screening.
The NWC working on behalf ailing former governor of Oyo Senator Ajimobi as acting chairman issued a counter directive declaring that the screening Committee report midwived by the suspended APC chairman Adams Oshiomhole remains authentic.
As it appears before 2023 general election the APC may end up producing nothing less than 20 party chairmen clearly signalling that APC may kiss the dust with President Muhamnadu Buhari’s tenure.
This was predicted at the formative stage of the party that the conveners were strange bed fellows.
Before the emergence of Oshiomhole, the party top chieftains were warned that if you bring him on board as captain, this man will lead the party into ship wreckage but the party chieftains insisted a rugged captain is what the party needed.
The outcome of that ruggedness is what APC is reaping now with four party chairmen acting.
