Timi Frank to APC leaders: You’re unfair to Saraki, newPDP members

Leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have received a knock from the Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Timi Frank.
To Frank, the way the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, and members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who joined the APC before the 2015 general elections (newPDP) are being treated “is not fair at all”.
“They are treating us unfairly”, he said.
Frank also alleged that “it is because I came from the PDP that the leadership of APC has refused to allow me speak for the party in acting capacity.
“I believe for some of us that came from the PDP, we’ve not been treated fairly. Tell me, if this party (APC) has been treating us well, why would they refuse me to speak? I still repeat, is it because I came from PDP to join the party? Today, they have turned some of us to be like an outcast within the party
“And that is why when my chairman (Odigie-Oyegun) made that statement about the Senate President that the party does not mind if the PDP takes over the position and so on, shortly afterwards, because of some pressures, he came back to fine-tune his statement by saying that the party still wants to hold the position. But he never denied making the statement. How can you allow your number three citizen, no matter what, to be treated like this? It’s because the party is not mediating between the executive and the legislature.
“The party has every power, to go to the president, to appeal to the president, to make it clear that this issue is not just about Bukola Saraki. This is beyond Saraki. It could be anybody. Anybody could be in his shoes. As a party, we’ve not been able to take a position that will please Nigerians. What is happening to Saraki is not just about Saraki but it’s something that is making Nigerians to look at APC as a party having issues. Our chairman came out to demonstrate that statement”.
