APC going nowhere beyond 2019, says Party chieftain

A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, says 2019 may be the end of the ruling party.

In a strongly worded statement made available to on Wednesday, February 28, 2018, Frank expressed disappointment in the decision taken by the National Executive Committee (NEC) which extended the tenure of Chief John Oyegun and other members of the party’s National Working Committee for another twelve months.

The APC chieftain said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is better than the APC.

His word: “I am personally disappointed with the tenure extension of -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 challenged 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'm known for. This decision is against the wish of the majority but for the oppressors within the party.

"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.

"Even when the presidency had appointed the national leader of APC to reconcile all the aggrieved members, the tenure elongation clearly shows that the party is going nowhere beyond 2019 because if they didn't believe in Tinubu's reconciliatory panel why did they set up at all?” Frank asked.

Frank also observed that injustice meted out to most members of former PDP that eventually joined APC were clear indications that the governing party 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 and 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 stated.

Frank has cautioned the APC against brewing crisis in the past but he was ignored.
