SAN FRANCISCO, September 26, (THEWILL) – The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Timi Frank, has reacted to the call by a national leader of the party, Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the national chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun's resignation, disclosing that more party leaders were set to join the call for the national chairman to leave office.

Recall that Tinubu had on Sunday called on Odigie-Ogegun to step down , stating that he worked with anti-democratic forces within the party to scuttle the will of party members in the party's governorship primaries in Ondo State.

Frank, while exchanging views with reporters in Abuja on Monday, asserted that the call by Tinubu for Oyegun's ouster was a vindication of his earlier cries against the leadership style of the national chairman.

His words, “more people will speak out if the national chairman refuses to heed the call by Tinubu to resign.

“It is very clear that I'm one of the first persons that took the bull by the horn to foresee what is happening today in our party. I came out earlier on to say there were issues and crisis in this party. As at that time, I was alone; nobody knew where I was coming from.

“The founding father of our party has concurred to my earlier call that Oyegun should resign as the national chairman. That should let you know that I foresaw what they didn't see.

“Today, the BoT is not in place. Tell me, if I have issue, where will I run to? Do I run to an NWC where Oyegun will preside over to drop my case that will not be answered? The answer is no.”

The deputy national spokesman of the ruling party warned that the party might have itself to blame in the forthcoming Edo and Ondo governorship elections, if urgent steps were not taken.

He advised that the party's leadership should immediately call for an emergency meeting of the National Working Committee, NWC, to resolve “frictions” within the party.
