Buhari, Osinbajo save APC from collapse, Timi Frank pleads
Suspended deputy spokesperson of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Timi Frank, has cried out over possible collapse of the party and has urged President Muhammadu Buhari and his vice, Yemi Osinbajo to help save the party.
He also called on the National Assembly leadership, Senator Bola Tinubu, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, to all join hands and urgently rescue the ruling party.
Frank stated this in a statement he released on Friday in response to the cancellation of the party`s National Caucus and National Executive Committee (NEC) meetings by its National Working Council.
APC’s NWC had in a statement on Thursday by the party spokesman, Malam Bolaji Abdullahi, announced that due to “unexpected developments” the party National Caucus and National Executive Committee (NEC) meetings scheduled to hold on April 24 and 25 respectively can no longer hold.

He said that new dates for the meetings would be announced in the coming days.
But Frank, who was unhappy with the development, argued that the postponement of the meetings was for no other reason than lack of trust from the party leaders on Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, the party’s national chairman and his leadership style.
According Frank, Odigie-Oyegun-led chairmanship of the party, contrary to expectations, has failed to come up with anything tangible to support President Buhari’s administration, adding that the present need of APC remains to have a national leadership which would consult widely before taking action.

I hissed aloud. Imbecile Timi Frank has lost it. He is the one that should rescue himself of being used by opposition party to devastate the apc.

Don’t mind the idiot. I don’t know his headache. The party said there is no fund to have its convention for now or he wants Buhari to give them Nigerian money to finance the convention like the the pdp always do, Buhari is not like that. Keep mute Timi.

APC should not allow little things to destroy their party because this is how PDP crisis started and degenerated to uncontrollable situation. Buhari and Osinbajo should wade into the matter if need be although Timi is a blabber and can be lousy at times.

Ive been patiently waiting for a day like this. APC feels they will stand when PDP is breaking? If PDP should go down, APC too will go down because the party also contributed the ongoing crisis in PDP

It is at times good to re read oneself. Read what you wrote, do you think there is any sense in it at all? How is APC supposed to be concerned with PDP’s palava?

Buhari ad Osinbajo are not the right person to call unto, if APC dont want to collapse, Tinubu’s forgiveness and his full participation is needed again, without these, I’m not sure the party will see 2019.
