The immediate past Deputy National Publicity Secretary of All Progressives Congress (APC) Comrade Timi Frank, has finally dumped the party, assuring Nigerians that he will continue to speak against injustice, intimidation, political persecution, criminalisation of all opponents of the ruling party.

Frank, who is silenced on whether he is joining another political party soon, said he is ready again to contribute his quota to the progress and development of Nigeria by joining hands with progressive forces to rescue it from collapse, poverty, corruption, tyranny, ignominy and undemocratic leadership.

In a statement Frank released on Friday morning, he thanked his supporters, both home and abroad, for their encouragement during his stay in the APC which he said has continued to be a soothing balm to him "under this arid regime and also to inform them of my decision, after extensive reflection and consultations, to leave the APC and to commence afresh the struggle to re-establish the rule of law, respect for the fundamental human rights of Nigerians and the restoration of justice, fairness and equity in the conduct of affairs in this country, irrespective of the personality that may be at the helm of affairs at any given time."

The Bayelsa born politician recalled that when the APC was formed in 2014, he was among the early joiners also narrated his regret in the party.
