“The President has received very convincing advice on the position of the law as far as the situation in the party is concerned and has determined that the law is on the side of Victor Giadom as Acting National Chairman,” Buhari spokesman, Garba Shehu, tweeted.

“We urge the media to stop promoting manufactured controversies and to not give any further room for mischievous interpretations of the law on this matter,” he added.

The new twist in the crisis rocking the ruling political party in the country is likely to compound the problem rocking the party.

Already, a faction of the party loyal to suspended National Chairman of the Party, Adams Oshiomohole had expelled Giadom from the party.

Giadom had earlier secured a Court injunction recognising him as the Acting National Chairman of the party.
