Timi Frank to be expelled from APC – Disciplinary committee report

Indications have emerged that the Acting Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Timi Frank, may soon be expelled from the party.

This was the decision of the party’s disciplinary committee set up to investigate misconduct against the acting spokesman.

Frank, in the recent time has continuously criticized the National Leadership of the ruling party, saying APC under its National chairman, John Oyegun is in total mess.

Following a petition against its acting spokesman, the ruling party on October 26, constituted a disciplinary committee led by Solomon Edoja to investigate the allegation against Frank.

Frank, who described the panel as the “handiwork of my national chairman”, said he might not appear before it.

The acting spokesman in his reaction had described the Edoja committee as a “kangaroo panel” which was the handiwork of Oyegun.

The panel in its recommendation signed by all five members of the committee advised that Frank be immediately expelled from the party.

According to the report, “Since the committee is not a father Christmas, it has no choice than to rely on the prima facie evidence tendered upon the petitioner, consequent upon which, the committee hereby recommends as follows.

“That Timi Frank be suspended from the party forthwith in line with article 21D (f).

“That zonal executive committee should recommend to the NEC for the expulsion of Timi Frank from the party in line with article 21 D (h) (ii) and (iii).”

Cracks In MASSOB As Uwazuruike Is Expelled, New Leader Sworn In

Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, yesterday swore in a new leadership for the movement after the national officers, including the zonal and regional administrators of the group, formally announced the expulsion of Chief Ralph Uwazuruike as MASSOB’s national leader.

The new leadership was headed by the group’s former National Director of Information, Uchenna Madu, while Ugwuoke Ibem Ugwuoke emerged National Secretary.

The new leadership, at the well-attended ceremony in Okwe, Onuimo Local Government Area, warned Uwazuruike to stop parading himself as MASSOB’s leader or using Ojukwu’s name to dupe Ndigbo or garner personal fame to pursue his political ambition.

Reading the resolution and communiqué signed by the national officers and administrators at Okwe, MASSOB’s headquarters, the new national secretary stated that, “The development is to redeem and revive the lost spirit and confidence of the Biafran revolution in our people and Biafra’s friends and sympathizers.”
