APC crisis: Northern youths reject Timi Frank’s suspension

hehehehe.....Youths from the 19 Northern states under the aegis of Coalition of NorthernYouths, CNY, have given the National leadership of the ruling All progressives Congress, APC, 7 days to reverse the purported suspension of its Acting Publicity Secretary, Comrade Timi Frank.
The coalition, after a stakeholders meeting in Kaduna, also resolved to send a powerful delegation to President Muhammadu Buhari to ask him not to only wade into the prevailing crisis in the APC, but to also prevail on the National leadership and South South zone of the party to rescind the suspension of Comrade Timi Frank.

This was contained in a statement jointly signed by Ibrahim Gambo, Chairman Joint Committee and Barrister Mustafa Aliyu, Secretary Joint committee of CNY and made available to newsmen in Kaduna.
The group noted that the coalition believes the best time for President Buhari to intervene was now as the prevailing crisis has all it takes to derail his administration and any gain the APC as a party might have made since it’s victory at the polls.

“We are of the firm belief that the suspension is not welcome at this critical moment that President Buhari needs the support of all stakeholders to achieve his agenda for the country in the face of the prevailing economic crunch being experienced by Nigerians.
The youths believe that the treatment of Timi Frank shows that youths were not wanted in the party.

“The Chairman of the party instead of a bridge builder has become the main problem of the party, causing division instead of using his experience and fatherly disposition to bring members together.
“It is also pertinent to note that the leadership of the party has not been fair to the Deputy National publicity Secretary who should by virtue of his position and the constitution be the National Publicity Secretary after Lai Mohammad was appointed as Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“Instead, there were subtle move to sideline the young man and bring another person in his place, a development we as youth stakeholders in the party are not comfortable with.
“From all indications, we are of the firm belief that the treatment being meted out to Comrade Frank is because he is a young man among elders like Oyegun. This is why we are saying that he must be protected by youths except if the elders are saying the party belongs to elders only.
We are calling on the chairman to immediately come out and tell Nigerians why the APC NEC did not assign Comrade Frank his legitimate office since the office became vacant.
“As lovers of democracy, believers in the ideas of President Muhammadu Buhari with millions of Nigerian youths who worked for the success of the party in the last elections, the coalition of Northern Youths want to continually support the APC to deliver on its promises to Nigerians,” the youth said.
