# a house built on faulty foundation is sure to collapse # APC was built on malicious propaganda and lies#
The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has said that the party has developed serious cracks which if not properly managed can lead to crisis and subsequent loss of hard-earned popularity.
On the worry expressed by the national leadership of the party over difficulties in getting a suitable individual for the spokesman’s post since the former National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, left to serve as minister, Frank said such fears were unfounded.
Speaking to journalists on Thursday at his residence in Abuja, on the brewing crisis in the party, especially with regard to the tussle for influence in his home state chapter of APC in Bayelsa, Frank said there is a lingering intra-party disagreement even though the leadership has been pretending otherwise.
According to Frank, the national leadership appears not to be doing much to harmonize the aggrieved persons interests so that the party can move forward.
“If anybody should tell you there is no division even at the national level, they’re telling lies, I can tell you there are issues, there are very critical issues. The issue of the senate president is still lingering, nobody is saying anything at the national level but I tell you, any Nigerian that knows will tell you very clearly that with the body language of our party as at today, if we are not careful we are going to lose our popularity,” he said.
The Deputy Spokesman warned that the party and everyone that has sacrificed to lift it up will become the loser if nothing was done to arrest the widening division within the ranks of members.
“It will be a very very big disgrace that we have hands that are not competent at the center to harmonize the aggrieved persons and make us to move forward.
“So there is crisis in the party. If anybody says there is no crisis, we have many divisions right now within the party so I wont be scared to speak. That is my personal opinion and I have spoken again and I will continue to speak out.
” I have nothing to worry about that in a matter of short time, this will come to play out. I spoke of problem in my state, Bayelsa, but people ignored me. I am speaking again, it would happen soon at the national level that these things we are sweeping or hiding have started already,” he said.
The embattled former Youth Leader in the Peoples Democratic Party insisted that as far as he is concerned he remains the Acting Spokesman for APC and would continue to function in that capacity pending when a convention is held to elect a substantive officer.
