Comrade Timi Frank Embattled Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) has finally been suspended by the Zonal
Executive Committee of the party (South-South Zone) even as the
committee made further recommendations to the National Executive
Committee (NEC) of the party that Frank be ultimately expelled from APC.
Adopting the committee’s report on Friday at the party’s National
Secretariat, Ntufam Hilliard Eta, the Zonal Vice Chairman (South South)
of the party informed newsmen that Comrade Timi has been suspended from
the party in line with article 1 (d) and (f) of the party’s
constitution.
“In furtherance of satisfying the provision of the constitution of
the APC, I had to call for this emergency meeting of the zone and after
very exhausting deliberation, the zone has arrived at the confirmation
of the disciplinary committee’s report that one, Mr Timi Frank be
suspended from the party forthwith in line with article 1 (d) and (f),
having been accepted by this house, Mr Timi Frank hereby stands
suspended by this party.“Number two, this zonal committee shall recommend to the National
Executive Committee for the expulsion of Timi Frank from this party in
line with Article 21 D H (2 and 3) of our constitutio.“This is the resolution of the South South Zonal Executive Committee. Hilliard said Responding to question on whether the zonal executive committee was
not hasty to suspend Frank considering the fact that the APC Governors
forum has been making moves to reconcile the warring parties, Hilliard
said “the tenement of our party’s constitution stipulates that petitions
should be swiftly treated. Concerning what the Chairman of the
governor’s forum is doing, it is not in conflict with the party
maintaining discipline within its ranks and file, it is not running at
opposite direction. We are attempting to grow our party, it does not
therefore mean that we’ll not be alive to our responsibilities with
regard to maintaining a disciplined membership of the party.
