ADAMS OSHIOMOLE IS NEW APC NATIONAL CHAIRMAN

Former Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole was yesterday in Abuja elected  the new national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the second elective national convention of the party. 

Oshiomhole’s election came through following the withdrawal of other chairmanship aspirants a few days before the convention. In his address at the opening of the convention, President Muhammadu Buhari appealed to aggrieved members to be patient, saying the party will soon resolve the disagreements. The President assured that the party will emerge from its present challenges stronger and more vibrant. 

The chairman of the APC national convention committee and Jigawa State governor, Alhaji Badaru Abubakar, who moderated the election process, asked the delegates to confirm Oshiomhole’s election through a voice vote and they did.

Oshiomhole’s affirmation came shortly after Buhari delivered his speech in which he pleaded with delegates to support the party’s arrangement.
