The South-South National Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Victor Giadom, has declared the Rivers State congress a pivotal step toward the party reclaiming political control of the state.
Speaking during the APC state congress, Giadom assured party members that fairness and equity would guide the party’s leadership decisions moving forward.
He commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for monitoring the process and assured that credible leaders would be elected to steer the party for the next four years.
Giadom expressed confidence in APC’s position as the strongest political party in Rivers State, noting that the internal challenges faced by the party would be resolved following the conclusion of the state congress.
He said, “The process of claiming the Rivers State Government House will start from today.
“Let me thank all of us for being committed to APC.
“Let me thank our leaders, leaders such as my brother Senator Magnus Abe, Sampson Ngerebara, Chidi Wihioka, and the rest of our leaders here—Ezimonye, Ojukaye, Maureen, and all of us seated here. We are very grateful to all of you. This party will remain grateful to all of you.
“And fairness and equity will be brought to play in our party going forward.
“Let me use this opportunity to thank the Independent National Electoral Commission, who are here in their numbers, for being here and for carrying out their oversight responsibility on what we are doing here today.
“This congress will be very fair and transparent, and we are going to elect credible leaders that will pilot the affairs of this party for the next four years.”
