APC Won’t Go Beyond 2019 – Party Chieftain

L-R: President Muhammadu Buhari and APC National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun

Suspended Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Comrade Timi Frank, has described as laughable and disappointing the tenure elongation of the Chief John Odigie-Oyegun led National Working Committee (NWC) and others for another 12 months.

Frank, according to Vanguard, said the development indicated that the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is far better than APC when it comes to internal democracy.

He said, “I am personally disappointed with the tenure extension of Chief John Oyegun led leadership. This has clearly shown that APC is an undemocratic party. A party which has been in existence for three years but has never obeyed its own constitution.

“I challenge anybody to tell me which part of the APC constitution has been religiously obeyed in the past? This has shown again the difference between PDP and APC, but I know that the former is better.

“I will not relent in speaking the truth which I am known for. This decision is against the wish of the majority but for the oppressors within the party.”

Speaking on Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s call for the resignation of Chief Oyegun’s NWC, Frank said, “Even when the presidency had appointed the National Leader of APC to reconcile all the aggrieved members, the tenure elongation clearly show that the party is going nowhere beyond 2019 because if they didn’t believe in Tinubu’s reconciliatory panel why did they set it up at all?

“How can you keep a man that lacks capacity to lead a governing political party for another twelve months? This has shown that those who took such decision are selfish and does not mean well for APC.”

Frank said the party’s decision has proved that it does not respect even its own laid down rules and regulations which he said does not allow such decision.

He added that the tenure elongation showed that the APC does not believe in democratic tendencies.

“Some of us that came from PDP have not been treated well, even the positions being held today by the Senate President Bukola Saraki and Speaker Yakubu Dogara were forcefully taken.

“Time will tell very soon when some of us will have to take decision against some of these anti-democratic tendencies of some people in APC,” Frank said.
