Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Comrade Timi
Frank has advised a member of the Lagos APC chapter, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, to
stop regurgitating load of rubbish and file a petition of corruption
against former Vice President Atiku Abubakar if he has evidence instead of
using desperately news-hungry online muck raking media to convict him of
corruption.
Igbokwe had told an online media that the for VP Atiku “can not be Nigeria
President,” attributing his reason to corruption.
But reacting in a statement on Thursday in Abuja, to what he called
Igbokwe’s desperate enemy efforts to bring down Atiku Abubakar at all
costs, Frank reminds the APC official that the media have not and cannot
be an alternative court to try and convict perceived political opponents.
He also asked whether Igbokwe has forgotten that Atiku Abubakar remain one
of the most investigated politicians anywhere in the world, asking the
APC Lagos spokesman to present to the world if he has any evidence against
the Waziri Adamawa or “keep silence forever.
“Has Igbokwe lost the address to the EFCC office in Lagos or Abuja? What
stopped him from going there with all the evidence to convict Atiku? He
would have achieved more maximum publicity by furnishing the EFCC with the
evidence of corruption against the former Vice President”, Frank asked
forcefully but rhetorically.
According to the APC Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Igbokwe’s
“latest lazy propaganda is not original” and that “if enemies repeat
falsehoods a million times, it will never be the substitute for evidence
of corruption against Atiku and indeed any other”.
Frank says “rabies infected political Rottweilers like Igbokwe should
ordinarily be ashamed of their dirty roles in politics and for bringing
our democracy into ridicule”, but regrets that Igbokwe mistook public
toleration of his sycophantic politics for approval.
Timi Frank reminds Igbokwe that the greatest tragedy is for a politician
to forget his origin and insult his roots because of political
opportunism, which has become his area of competence.
He explains that “politicians that seek survival by being mercenaries
deserve more pity than condemnation because honour and principles mean
nothing to them in this world.
“God couldn’t have been kinder to Atiku Abubakar. He has survived more
vicious political enemies before, and the latest Joe Igbokwe wouldn’t make
any difference.”
