Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives
\nCongress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has condemned the freezing of the bank
\naccounts of the presidential running-mate of the Peoples Democratic Party
\n(PDP), Mr. Peter Obi, describing it as an act of wickedness, senselessness
\nand desperation by the current administration.<\/p>\n
Frank said that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration is making a
\nbig mistake by thinking that it would defeat the PDP by depriving the
\nopposition figures access to their personal resources.<\/p>\n
Reacting to the reported freezing of ex-Governor Obi’s account, Frank,\u00a0 in
\na statement, on Sunday in Abuja, said it was too late for President
\nBuhari’s administration to stop the acceptability of the PDP\u2019s incoming
\ngovernment through subterfuge and devious tactics.<\/p>\n
According to Frank, if the PDP and former President Goodluck Jonathan, who
\nperformed well could lose election in 2015 despite access to huge
\nresources, nothing will stop Buhari\u2019s and APC’s total defeat in 2019.<\/p>\n
He said: “In the history of Nigeria, and in the history of democracy in
\nNigeria, we have never seen a government this wicked to its citizens and
\nto the opposittion like this present government.<\/p>\n
“Let me remind Buhari not to forget that he was poor before he became
\nPresident in 2015, if today he has corruptly enriched himself – thinking
\nthat he will use the proceeds to buy votes during the election while
\ntrying to impoverish the opposition – Nigerians will prove him otherwise.<\/p>\n
“He has forgotten that his election was sponsored by Nigerians who
\nbelieved in his course, otherwsise he would not have become President.<\/p>\n
“No amount of blackmail and witch-hunt against businessmen and opposition
\npoliticians in the country will give him victory come 2019. No true
\nNigerian will behave the way he treats Nigerians and opposition.”<\/p>\n
While accusing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of
\nbias, Frank queried why the anti-graft agency has not frozen the accounts
\nof Vice President Yemi Osinbajo -who is allegedly involved in NEMA\u2019s
\nfinancial scandal – and that of the National Chairman of APC, Adams
\nOshiomhole – for allegedly receiving bribes during the party’s primaries.<\/p>\n
“Buhari’s actions are beginning to make us doubt if indeed he is the
\nMuhammadu Buhari we know or the Jubril from Sudan as alleged by so many
\npeople. It will only take a foreigner to treat citizens and the opposition
\nthe way Buhari is treating Nigerians at the moment.<\/p>\n
“I want to remind Buhari that he was once in the opposition and he was
\nnever treated the way he is treating Atiku Abubakar and the opposition
\ntoday. In any case, whether it is Buhari or the alleged Jubril that is at
\nthe helm of the affairs in Nigeria, come February 16, 2019, Nigerians will
\ntake their country back by voting out Buhari or Jubril or both,” Frank
\nstated.<\/p>\n
