Former deputy national spokesman for the ruing All progressives Congress (APC) Timi Frank has officially decamped from the party.
But, according to him, he has yet to join another political party.
A Zonal Executive Committee of the party in the South South had suspended Frank in 2016 over a petition against him by a member of the party.
And Frank, who announced his resignation from the ruling party in a statement on Friday, assured Nigerians that he would continue to speak against “injustice, intimidation, political persecution, criminalisation of all opponents of the ruling APC.”
“Let it be clear that I am stepping aside from the APC to be the voice for the majority of voiceless Nigerians who daily suffer the bad policies and highhandedness of this administration. I want to continue my fight to ensure a better Nigeria, where injustice, corruption, killings and bloodletting will cease to exist,” he said.
“I want to make it unequivocally clear that I am returning to continue my struggle against forces who are bent on ruining the economy and governance of this country through lack of vision, ineptitude, wickedness, and outright disregard for the welfare and security of the ordinary Nigerian. This I hope to do until Nigeria is rid of injustice, intimidation, political persecution, criminalization of all opponents of the ruling party, and open attacks using the nation’s security agencies. Nigerians need a voice to speak for them in this evil days and I want to be that voice.”
