Timi Frank

By Omeiza Ajayi

Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, Timi Frank, has raised the alarm over the court-ordered deregistration of the African Democratic Congress ADC and four other opposition political parties, warning that any such move could trigger a national crisis and undermine Nigeria’s democratic foundations.

Frank, in a strongly worded statement on Tuesday, described the development as a direct threat to multi-party democracy, alleging that the reported court ruling formed part of a wider effort to weaken opposition forces ahead of the 2027 general elections.
