Abuja
The All Progressives Congress (APC) Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Timi Frank, has expressed serious reservation that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu would be able to reconcile all the aggrieved members of the party.
Though he called on members of the party to support Tinubu who was last week appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari to head the reconciliation team, Chief Frank said the gulf between the national leadership and aggrieved members was huge.
“Asiwaju Tinubu cannot do magic because it’s already late”, he said expressing concern over the likelihood of the exercise being successful since it has taken a long time for the presidency to listen to his calls for genuine reconciliation.
In a statement on yesterday in Abuja, Frank congratulated the APC national leader for his new role and prayed God to grant him (Tinubu) the needed wisdom to carry out the assignment, adding that “though I know that it is too late.
“The former Lagos state governor cannot do magic because it’s already late and nothing will come out of it, although some people might not like this truth, but I will continue to say it.
“It is a glaring thing that all what Tinubu is expected to repair now was caused by the National Chairman, Chief John Oyegun’s indecision. When I demanded for his resignation, some people felt I was been sponsored. But today, I have been vindicated because all eyes can see clearly what Chief Oyegun’s style of leadership has done to the ruling party. At this level, if care is not taken, the APC might soon become history.
“I don’t know how the national leader will go about this reconciliation task. I don’t know how he will succeed in reconciling the likes of Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and Governor Umar Ganduje in Kano, Senator Shehu Sani and Governor Nasir El-Rufai in Kaduna, Speaker Yakubu Dogara and Governor Mohammed Abubakar in Bauchi, Rotimi Ameachi and Sen.
