Wechie Livinstone, the Media Adviser to the APC Acting Chairman in Rivers State, Igo Aguma, averred that the court ordered the APC not to recognize Giadom named as the third defendant in the case as a member of the NWC.

The court also granted an order restraining Giadom from issuing, signing or endorsing any document or correspondence to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) or any other body or institution in the capacity of the National Chairman or Acting National Chairman of the APC or howsoever as an officer of the APC.

The court said Giadom could not be parading himself as a member of the NWC having resigned from his position to contest the 2019 general election as the Deputy Governor.
