…Accuses Buhari of persecution
The immediate past Deputy National Publicity Secretary of All Progressives
Congress (APC) Comrade Timi Frank, has strongly condemned the continued
detention of immediate past Governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose, by
the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), warning that no harm
must happen to the former governor.
Frank said the alarm is necessary because of the information available to
him that the agency has been instructed ‘by the powers that be’ to either
poison or render the outspoken politician (Fayose) incapacitated ahead of
the 2019 general elections.
In a statement released on Wednesday in Abuja, Frank wondered why somebody
who voluntary released himself to the agency should be kept in custody
more than 24 hours.
The former APC spokesman said that in as much as he will never support
corruption, justice must be done to all and sundry.
Frank revealed that Fayose is being held by the EFCC not because of any
currupt act but because of his outspokenness against the administration of
President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC.
He wondered “why former Secretary to the Government of the Federation,
Engr. Babachir Lawal was not detain over allegation of grasscutting
scandal, why EFCC refuse to invite the wife of the President Aisha Buhari
over recent allegation involving his ADC, why MTN scandal involving Chief
of Staff to the President is not investigated, why NNPC scandal involving
the GMD Kanti Baru and why allegation of corruption against the National
Chairman of APC, Adams Oshiomohle does not interest the agency, among so
many others in the ruling party.
“The truth is that once you are not a member of APC, you are corrupt but
once you join the evil party, your sins are forgiven,” he state.
On the plan to render Fayose incapacitated, Frank said: “A Senior staff of
the agency last night had to call attention of some opposition leaders to
the instruction given to the agency by the presidency to ensure that
Fayose does not leave EFCC custody a healthy person.
“Another operative early this morning also informed us that a healthy
Fayose who walked into headquarters of EFCC yesterday was seen vomiting
this morning. I called on Nigerians to pray for Fayose because the evil
plan of APC government against the PDP leader is not known yet.”
Frank, who urge the former governor not to eat or drink anything coming
from the operative of EFCC, also called the attention of the international
community to what he described as a selective manner in which President
Buhari is fighting corruption in Nigeria.
