APC suspends Oyegun for lossing polling unit in Edo governorship Election

Apparently without delay, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has implemented its disciplinary committee advice and suspended Timi Frank, the party Deputy National Publicity Secretary.

Disclosing the latest event in the party on Friday, APC Vice-Chairman (South-South), Eta Hilliard, said the zonal committee had sanctioned the recommendations of the disciplinary committee on Thursday, for the suspension of Frank and subsequent sack, having thoroughly looked at it during “exhaustive deliberation”.

He said, “I received the report of the disciplinary committee setup to look into the allegations of embarrassing utterances and anti-party activities by Mr Timi Frank, the deputy national publicity secretary of this party. Incidentally, he’s from Bayelsa in the South-South zone.

“In furtherance of satisfying the provision of the constitution of the APC, I had to call for this emergency meeting of the zone and after very exhausting deliberation, the zone has arrived at the confirmation of the disciplinary committee’s report that one, Mr Timi Frank be suspended from the party forthwith in line with article 1 (d) and (f), having been accepted by this house, Mr Timi Frank hereby stands suspended by this party.

“Number two, this zonal committee shall recommend to the national executive committee (NEC) for the expulsion of Timi Frank from this party in line with Article 21 D H (2 and 3) of our constitution.”

He went further to explain citing Article 21 of the party’s constitution, that the party could discipline any straying member at all levels.

“The party shall have power to discipline party members, the power shall be exercise on behalf of the party by the respective executive committee of the party at all levels. This constitution is radically different from the constitutions of parties that have preceded us. A lot of Nigerians assume that all political parties have the same constitution, ours is not the same as operated by the PDP, APGA or any other party out there so you must internalize the content of this constitution.

Origin and meaning of Edo words

Ewuare the first Bini warrior king, was himself forced into exile as a young prince and nearly would not have ascended the Benin throne.  With death penalty hanging on his head as a result of some misdemeanor, he fled into the woods although regularly, secretly visiting the city of Benin at night. The elders (Edionisen) heard about his secret visits and set a trap to capture and kill him.  Just as he was about to be caught, he escaped to the home of Ogieva Nomuekpo, who hid him in a well covered on top with leaves.  Ogieva then went to invite the elders to come and arrest Prince Ogun as he was called then. While Ogieva was on his way to call the elders, Edo, the head servant of Ogieva's household alerted Prince Ogun about his master's diabolical plan and helped the prince to escape.  Ogieva returned with the elders to find that he had been betrayed and he severely punished Edo for this. After several years in the bush, Prince Ogun began to grow weary of his vaga...

AS the world was awaiting the coronation of a new Oba of Benin, in Benin City, there has been a barrage of goodwill messages from distant and near lands.
