Frank also condemned Oyegun, who is the APC chairman for belittling the exit of the former Vice President from the party.

The former spokesman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Timi Frank has said that ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar left the party because of John Oyegun’s incompetence.

The APC chairman had earlier said that Atiku’s exit will not affect the APC in any way.

According to Vanguard, Frank said “One should have expected our national chairman to focus on how to rebuild the APC now instead of concentrating his energy on Atiku Abubakar who is no more with us.

“I hope Chief Oyegun will learn from the history of Alhaji Bamanga Tukur and the PDP when some of us were leaving the party. The party later paid the price and if care is not taken APC too will pay the price of Oyegun’s incompetency in 2019.

“Our national chairman ought to know that politics is a game of numbers, so we expect him to take responsibility for everyone leaving the ruling party to the opposition party under his watch.

“If Oyegun thinks that Atiku’s exit won’t create any impact, time will tell but I will still advice the party to relieve Chief Oyegun of his office before he anger more people to leave the APC. Atiku actually left APC because of such national chairman who could not ensure internal democracy.

“Under Chief Oyegun, aspirants alleged that primary elections were won by higher bidders, party constitution suspended, display of impunity were the order of the day, inability to put BoT in place, lack of capacity to organise convention and other necessary meetings. So, Nigerians will expect our chairman to tell the world the value he has added to the ruling party?

“This is a national chairman who has never won election for APC even in his ward, how can he challenge a former vice president of Nigeria who has added values to democracy and even to the ruling party before he left.”

Oyegun made APC go broke

Timi Frank had earlier alleged that the APC chairman, John Oyegun mismanaged the party’s funds and caused it to go broke.

He also warned that aggrieved APC governors and lawmakers will decamp to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before the 2019 general elections.

Frank was reportedly found guilty of anti-party activities by the APC disciplinary committee and subsequently suspended in November 2016.
