Timi Frank, a Chieftain of the
All Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Timi Frank, has berated the party’s
National Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun over his recent comment on the exit of
former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar from the ruling party.
Oyegun had said the exit of Atiku
will not affect the APC in anyway.
Reacting however, Frank, a former
National Publicity Secretary of the party described Oyegun’s statement as
uncharitable.
In a statement he signed, Frank
said Oyegun should have known that he lacked moral right to talk about the
former Vice President because, “his incompetency contributed to the former vice
president leaving the party.”
Wondering how the APC Chairman
could compromise his conscience, Frank insisted that Oyegun is one of the
greatest beneficiaries of Abubakar’s generosity to the ruling party.
According to him, ”When you eat
from a man and come back to talk evil of the same man, prosperity will
definitely judge in this case. Oyegun is one of the biggest beneficiaries from
Atiku in APC, we expect him to have little fear of God while talking in public.
“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 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.”
