Timi Frank Blows Hot On Tinubu’s Allegation On Oyegun:I Am Vindicated, Gives Party 14-Day Ultimatum To Take Action

Acting National Publicity Secretary of the party, Comrade Timi Frank has also restated his earlier demand that the national chairman resigns his position. Speaking with journalists in Abuja, Frank said recent happenings in the party as well as the face-off between Tinubu and Chief Oyegun have vindicated his persistent call on the chairman to throw in the towel. He however stated that if no action is taken, he would after 14 days mobilize party members to protest against the chairman in Abuja, adding that he is already mobilizing some members of the National Executive Committee NEC of the party to convene an emergency NEC meeting. “I was one of the first persons in this party who took the bull by the horns to foresee what is happening today in our party and I came out early on to say there were issues or crisis in this party. As at that time, I was alone. Nobody was seeing where I was coming from. This crisis started when the issue of the leadership of the National Assembly came up and I foresaw it at that time that because of the decision and position that my party took at that time against their own party members like the senate president and the speaker, there could be further issues. “ I came up to shout but then again, nobody listened to me. Then, it was Saraki. Again it boiled down to my humble self when my immediate boss as at that time, Alhaji Lai Mohammed left to become the Minister of Information. Automatically as the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the party and in line with the party’s constitution, I was meant to take over as the party’s Acting Publicity Secretary.” But again, they fought against my person for their own selfish interest because they know that I am one person that will not allow them to do some certain things that the leadership is doing and so there was a conspiracy against my person. They appropriated my job and said it is only Oyegun and the secretary that can speak for the party. “Today, I have been vindicated. We all saw what happened in the aftermath of the Ondo primary elections…a founding father of the party, a national leader of our party has concurred with my earlier call that Oyegun should resign as national chairman. That should let you know that I foresaw what they did not see. Yes he has tried by taking the party to where he thinks he has taken it to and I congratulate him for that but again, you cannot give what you do not have.”
