The Edo State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared the appointment of Sylvester Aigboboh as the Acting Deputy State Chairman and Pedro Esangbedo as the Acting Vice Chairman for the Edo Central Senatorial District.
According to a press release from the party’s State Secretariat, these appointments are effective immediately.
This development follows the promotion of the former Deputy State Chairman, Chief Jaret Tenebe, to the role of State Chairman, alongside the defection of Chief Francis Inegbeniki, the previous Vice Chairman for Edo Central, to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The statement clarified that these appointments align with the party’s constitution and are intended to facilitate smooth and effective administration within the party’s framework.
“In accordance with the provisions of the APC constitution and to maintain the efficiency of the party’s operations, it was essential to appoint individuals of proven character and integrity to these roles,” the statement indicated.
Aigboboh and Esangbedo will serve in an acting capacity until the next State Congress of the party is held.
They are anticipated to collaborate closely with the State Chairman, Emperor Jaret Tenebe, and other members of the party’s executive to provide robust leadership as preparations for the 2027 general elections commence.
