The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the governing All Progressives
\nCongress (APC) Comrade Timi Frank, has expressed disappointment in the
\ndecision taken by the National Executive Committee (NEC) which extended
\nthe tenure of Chief John Oyegun and others for another twelve months.<\/p>\n
Frank said the party has proved to the world that it does not respect even
\nits own laid down rules and guidelines which he said deos not give room
\nfor such decision.<\/p>\n
In a statement on Wednesday in Abuja, Comrade Frank described the tenure
\nelongation as laughable, saying it has shown that the main opposition
\nPeople Democratic Party (PDP) is far better than APC when it comes to
\ninternal democracy.<\/p>\n
“I am personally disappointed with the tenure extension of Chief John
\nOyegun led leadership. This has clearly shown that APC is an undemocratic
\nparty. A party which has been in existence for three years but has never
\nobeyed its own constitution.<\/p>\n
“I challenged anybody to tell me which part of the APC constitution has
\nbeen religiously obeyed in the past? This is has shown again the
\ndifference between PDP and APC, but I know that the former is better.<\/p>\n
“I will not relent in speaking the truth which I’m known for. This
\ndecision is against the wish of the majority but for the oppressors within
\nthe party.”<\/p>\n
While making reference to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s call for the resignation
\nof Chief Oyegun’s NWC, Frank said: “Even when the presidency had appointed
\nthe National Leader of APC to reconcile all the aggrieved members, the
\ntenure elongation clearly shown that the party is going nowhere beyond
\n2019 because if they didn’t believe in Tinubu’s reconciliatory panel why
\ndid they set up at all?<\/p>\n
“How can you keep a man that lacks capacity to lead a governing political
\nparty for another twelve months? This has shown that those who took such
\ndecision are selfish and does not mean well for APC.”<\/p>\n
Frank also observed that injustice against most members of former New PDP
\nthat eventually joined APC were clear indications that the governing party
\ndoes not believe in democratic tendencies.<\/p>\n
“Some of us that came from PDP have not been treated well, even the
\npositions being held today by the Senate President Bukola Saraki and
\nSpeaker Yakubu Dogara were forcefully taken.<\/p>\n
“Time will tell very soon when some of us will have to take decision
\nagainst some of these anti-democratic tendencies of some people in APC,”
\nFrank stated<\/p>\n
