The Edo State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress has appointed Sylvester Aigboboh as the Acting Deputy State Chairman and Pedro Esangbedo as the Acting Vice Chairman for Edo Central Senatorial District.
According to a statement on Sunday signed by acting state chairman, Jarret Tenebe and the Secretary, Lawrence Okah, the appointments take immediate effect.
The statement noted that the development follows the elevation of the former Deputy State Chairman, Chief Jaret Tenebe, to the position of state chairman, and the defection of Francis Inegbeniki, the former Vice Chairman for Edo Central, to the Peoples Democratic Party.
The statement contained that Aigboboh and Esangbedo will serve in an acting capacity pending the conduct of the next state congress of the party.
“By the provisions of the APC constitution and for the continued efficiency of the party’s operations, it became imperative to fill these positions with individuals of proven character and integrity,” the statement added.
“They are expected to work closely with the State Chairman, Emperor Jaret Tenebe, and other members of the party’s executive to provide strong leadership as preparations for the 2027 general elections begin,” the statement read.
