The suspended deputy national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, yesterday renewed his call on the party’s national chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, to resign.
Frank, who thanked God over Oyegun’s acknowledgement that the first steps taken created the crisis in the party, said his latest romance with Senate President Bukola Saraki was a campaign after election.
He said, “God has vindicated me over most of the crises I have been talking about that Chief Oyegun refused to admit as at that early stage. Finally, he has agreed. But it is too late for him.
“It is clear that most of the crises he is personally responsible for require a new competent hand to heal the wounds before it is too late for the party.
“Instead of inviting Saraki for a romance, why can’t the national chairman call for a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting where all the leaders will sit at a round table and tell themselves the truth. The year is going to an end and Chief Oyegun does not see leadership meeting as important.
“It is bitter but I must say it that practically all the decisions taken under Oyegun are illegal because majority of our national leaders are not carried along as it is stated in the constitution of the party to hold regularly leadership meetings where decisions are meant to be taken.
“So, I believe that this party urgently needs a new national chairman that will set up a strong reconciliation committee to correct all the abnormalities Oyegun did to the APC.
“Until this is done, the ongoing re-alignment which I warned my party about might take advantage of the current crisis in APC and weaken it ahead of future elections.”
The APC national chairman had invited the Senate president to the party’s national secretariat on Wednesday for the first time since his emergence.
