The disciplinary committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has recommended that the party’s deputy national publicity secretary Timi Frank be expelled, The Cable reports.

Timi Frank has been quite vocal and antagonistic towards the party chairman John Odigie Oyegun, as he has repeatedly called for his resignation.

Chairman of the committee Solomon Edoja, says Frank will be invited to defend himself.

“We will soon invite him to state his own side of the story. We are also going to invite the petitioner because the legal procedure is that you have to hear from both sides before you can reach the decision.

“We are going to subject our recommendation to the zonal executive committee for ratification. But, be that as it may, the APC wants to tell the world that the party is supreme, our constitution is supreme, and if there are infractions, we have to follow due process to attain whatever petition that comes before us.”

Frank, on his part said he might not appear before the committee.

“I will only appear before a committee that will be constituted by respected party members because such a committee will enable me lay my complain about the party and I believe it will do what is right and take my complains to the next level. But how can I appear before a committee that will take its report to Oyegun to decide my fate.

“If by tomorrow the committee says then invited me and I refuse to appear and so, they found me guilty, I am ready to face the battle.”

The committee which submitted its report to south-south vice-chairman of the APC, Eta Hilliard recommend Frank’s expulsion.

“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).”
