LEADERS in the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Wednesday, November 2, described the action of Timi Frank, embattled deputy publicity secretary of the party, as harmful to the country’s democracy. They also appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to take steps to protect the country’s democracy by stopping Frank and his sponsors from destroying the ruling party.

The leaders in a statement signed and issued by Ibrahim Musa, chairman, the APC United Front, after their meeting in Abuja, described the APC as democratic in organisational practice and goals.

According to the statement, the leaders praised John Odigie-Oyegun, national chairman of the party, for taking into consideration the shapes of opinion of the different party leaders, supporters and well-wishers concerning the party’s growth and progress.

“APC is not in trouble. Chief John Odigie-Oyegun is not APC’s problem. He is a man of facts, not given over to wild speculation or sensationalism. His moral reputation is a great asset to the party,” the statement said.

The leaders also commended the national chairman for playing according to the rules and policies of the party. The leaders said controlling the party ahead of 2019 election could not happen through political blackmail and intimidation.

They chided Frank for not respecting Odigie-Oyegun, urging him and his sponsors to stop factionalising the party and focus on party programmes and policy statements.

‘People like Frank are very inexperienced politicians without focus”.

The leaders who also praised the national chairman for promoting democratic values and adhering to basic elements of internal democracy, urged him not to succumb to any intimidation from anybody.
