By Suspended National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Timi Frank, has demanded the party’s National Chairman, John Oyegun account for all the funds realised from the sales of forms and registration of party membership.
Frank gave the call while reacting to threats issued by staff of the party’s national secretariat in Abuja to embark on strike over unpaid salaries.
In a statement he issued on Tuesday in Abuja, the suspended APC spokesperson urged staff members of the party’s secretariat to exercise patience with Oyegun and not carry out their threat.
The statement reads, “Non payment of staff salaries is a leadership problem in APC secretariat which I have been talking about.
“I will only appeal to the staff not to carry out their threat. It is on record that they have sacrificed a lot for the party right from the formation stage to where we are now. They should exercise patience because very soon a caring National Working Committee (NWC) leadership will emerge and all their complains will be adequately taken care of.
“We have to do this because it is clearly becoming an embarrassing situation for us that common electricity bill this party can no longer settle, not to talk of salaries.
“How much is the staff wage bill? And what happened to the money realised from Bayelsa, Edo and Ondo governorship primaries?
“I have said this several times that as far as Chief Oyegun lacks capacity and long as he continues as our national chairman this kind of embarrassing report may be unavoidable to APC.”
