Timi Frank, suspended deputy national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says he remains the authentic spokesman of the party until the court says otherwise.<\/p>\n
Bolaji Abdullahi, a former minister of youth and sports,\u00a0was elected as the APC spokesman\u00a0at a mini a mini-convention held at Chelsea Hotel in Abuja.<\/p>\n
Abdullahi is replacing Lai Mohammed who was appointed minister of information and culture in 2015.<\/p>\n
But in a statement on Thursday, Frank argued that according to the APC constitution, it was only the national convention that could produce a national officer of the party.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to congratulate Bolaji Abdullahi for his nomination but he should\u00a0 know that this matter is still in court and until the court say otherwise I am still the authentic acting national publicity secretary of APC,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will wait patiently for the party leadership to convene a national convention and ratify Bolaji\u2019s nomination as the substantive national publicity Secretary. But until then, I, Timi Frank, remain acting publicity secretary of APC.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt must be made clear to the plotters of this action that it is only national convention that can produce a national officer according to our party constitution while any other convention like the one north central just held can not do that.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will also make it clear that if they go ahead against the court order, that will amount to Contempt of the Court, which I will challenge in the court of law.\u201d<\/p>\n
