The Edo State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has appointed Sylvester Aigboboh as Acting Deputy State Chairman and Pedro Esangbedo as Acting Vice Chairman for Edo Central Senatorial District.
According to a statement released on Sunday and signed by Acting State Chairman Jarret Tenebe and Secretary Lawrence Okah, the appointments take immediate effect. The changes follow Tenebe’s elevation from Deputy Chairman to State Chairman and the defection of Francis Inegbeniki, former Vice Chairman for Edo Central, to the Peoples Democratic Party.
The party noted that the appointments were made in line with the APC constitution and aimed at maintaining smooth internal operations. The statement described Aigboboh and Esangbedo as individuals of proven character and integrity.
Both appointees will serve in acting capacities until the next state congress and are expected to support the party’s leadership in preparation for the 2027 general elections.
