Caring NWC will soon emerge for APC — Frank

The embattled Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has attributed the non-payment of staff salaries to leadership problem at the party’s national secretariat.

Frank, in a statement issued yesterday in Abuja, appealed to the APC staff not to carry out their threat to boycott the secretariat over unpaid salaries and poor working conditions.

The APC chieftain, who said some of the staff had actually complained to him personally before the case was reported in the dailies, described the situation as shameful and promised to take up the matter with some national leaders of the party.

He said, “I will only appeal to the staff not to carry out their threat. It is on record that they have sacrificed a lot for the party right from the formation stage to where we are now. They should exercise patience because very soon, a caring National Working Committee (NWC) leadership will emerge and all their complaints will be adequately taken care of.”

While demanding for accountability in the APC’s financial status, he challenged the party’s National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, to account for all the monies generated in the past from the sale of governorship forms and membership registrations.
