Timi Frank reveals when more APC chieftains will decamp to PDP

A former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, Timi Frank, on Monday disclosed that more members of
the ruling party in the House of Representatives will soon defect to
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Frank said the APC members were waiting for the National Assembly to
resume before defecting to PDP.

He said this while commending the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Yakubu Dogara for dumping the ruling party for the
PDP.

Frank described Dogara's decision as "courageous and in the interest
of the country."

He said Dogara's decision to change his political party was a right
decision expected of a true patriot, "who can no longer be identified
with failures of the current APC administration."

The former APC spokesperson, however, wondered why the "party's
National Chairman, Comrade Adam Oshiomhole, who recently praised the
Speaker could suddenly come out to condemn him over his decision to
change party."

In a statement he issued and sent to DAILY POST, Frank wrote:
"Precisely on August 10, 2018, these were Oshiomhole's words on
Dogara: "The APC as a party and myself as Chairman, we have confidence
in Hon. Dogara. I have had very useful interactions with him. We have
had a couple of meetings. He has shared with me in trust, his concerns
that have to do with issues in Bauchi state and I have taken steps to
address those issues to the best of my ability and I have shared with
him that I am excited that we are getting very positive results. So,
Hon. Dogara has no problem whatsoever with the APC and he did not do
anything similar to what Sen. Saraki did. He emerged as Speaker and he
also ensured as a patriot that an APC member emerged as Deputy
Speaker. He was not so desperate as to mortgage that position to PDP
in order to cling on to his speakership. He knew the difference
between personal interests and his party interests."

"Therefore, the question begging for an answer by the APC National
Chairman is what has changed that warranted his latest attack on the
Speaker?

"Is it because Dogara honourably resigned his membership of APC in the
interest of Nigeria? Oshiomhole and other few leaders remaining in APC
should know that Nigerians are tired of the kind of change their party
has brought on them.

"Is it the rise on the number of people losing their means of income
daily, high number of people committing suicide, hunger, high
inflation, killings and all kinds of backwardness the country is going
through?

"I have said it even before I left the evil characterized APC that the
party does not have what it takes to move Nigeria forward. So, I have
to commend the Speaker Dogara for his courage, not minding the
position he is holding but decided to join forces with others to
rescue Nigeria from the evil hands of the current handlers," Frank
stated.

He also assured that "more APC lawmakers in the lower chamber will
soon join Hon. Dogara in the PDP by the time the House resumes.

"The Speaker is not bothered about the empty threat of impeachment by
the APC and its national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole."
