Ibekimi Oriamaja Reports
There are indications that the peace meeting called by the National Vice Chairman for the South-South, Victory Giadom, on Monday to discuss how the party will perform well in the 2023 elections would have been boycotted but for the intervention and appeals of the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole.
Giadom organized the gathering at which he publicly apologized to Oshiomhole for the responsibilities he played in the party’s national chairman’s demotion.
“Since Giadom was the one who was used to remove Oshiomhole, many of us weren’t prepared to attend the meeting he called. However, it was the same Oshiomhole who was busy reaching out even into the late hours of Sunday and early hours of Monday. That man knows how to party.
The party’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and other candidates for other posts were present at the gathering, and Giadom pleaded with the party’s leaders and members to put those disagreements behind them and unite for success.
“Giadom said he got the highest vote from Edo State during the party’s national convention in Abuja, where he emerged as the National Vice Chairman of the zone.
On his part, Oshiomhole hailed Giadom on the initiative of the stakeholders’ meeting, boasting that APC and its presidential candidate, Ahmed Tinubu, would win the 2023 presidential election.
In the PDP, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi ran as a joint ticket just four years ago, but President Muhammadu Buhari of the APC defeated them thanks to party unity. Do you really need a political scientist to tell you that now that Atiku and Obi are split, they will accomplish what a united ticket could not?
“On election day, Atiku and Obi will be severely humiliated in a civilized manner, without violence or fraud, with an emphasis on one man, one vote, and Asiwaju Tinubu will win. By God’s grace, Asiwaju Tinubu will accomplish a lot to advance Nigeria after winning.
