Timi Frank, the suspended deputy national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has cautioned the party against repeating the same mistakes made by the former ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Frank speaking in Abuja on Wednesday, December 28, in reaction to an interview granted by the party’s National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, in Benin on Tuesday, said the party should avoid displaying the kind of arrogance which led to the rejection of the PDP by the Nigerian people during the general elections in 2015.
The suspended deputy national publicity secretary said such “arrogant” comments, coming from the party’s national chairman about a yet-to-be-formed political group was capable of inciting the Nigerian public againstthe APC.
He recalled that similar dismissive commentsby former PDP National Chairman, Alhaji BamangaTukur, during the merger, which ledtothe formation of the APC, won over severalNigerians to the side of the APC.
He noted that what Odigie-Oyegun should concentrate on at the moment was to reconcile aggrieved members of the party, some of whom he claimed contributed immensely to the party instead of creating further division in the party.
Frank said:“I can say this emphatically that my national chairman has not met with any ofthe aggrieved national leaders of the APC.
“I think as a party, we should not undermine the strength of this much-talked-about mega party, whether it is a rumour or not. I think we should do everything possible to defeat the move through genuine reconciliation within us.”
Recently, reports emerged that the trio of Tinubu, Atiku and the Ahmed Makarfi-led faction of the PDP were planning amega party for sometime in March 2017.
But Tinubu denied the reports saying he would not abandon APC for any other party no matter the reason. His comments have been widely saluted.
