‘More APC Govs, NASS Members To Join Atiku In PDP’

Ousted Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Timi Frank, has hinted on the possibility of more APC governors dumping the party soon.

Comrade Frank said more big shots in the APC, including those in the National Assembly, may follow ex-Vice President, Atiku Abubakar’s route due to “failure” on the part of the party’s leadership.

The erstwhile Deputy National Chairman of the party said this in statement on Monday.

“The beneficiaries of fragrant disregard to the constitution of the party, impunity and silence of some leaders are responsible for the misfortune befalling the APC,” said Frank.

“Nigerians,” according to Frank, “should note one very interesting thing in the politics of Nigeria, today. In the past, it used to be that people decamp or leave the party that loses election or that is in opposition to the party that is ruling.

“But, here we are today, people are moving from the ruling party to the party in opposition. It is sad but interesting the way politics is playing out in Nigeria because here we are, people leaving the comfort zone of government and the corridors of power to the opposition party should signal danger to those leading the ruling party.

“The kind of arrogance going on in the party led some of us out of PDP, in those days, but, we have now realised that it is even worse in APC.

“Although it’s already getting late, however, if this impunity is not tackled between now and early next year, APC may witness the mother of all defections to opposition parties.

“As for me, I am still a member of APC because I believe I have worked hard to bring about the ruling party, as a young man, but, if the impunity does not stop, I will be left with no option…

“Not only me but some others serving governors, members of National Assembly and other known party leaders across the country have to decide their political future elsewhere,” he said.
