Peter Obi: Buhari making us think he is
‘Jubril of Sudan’ – Timi Frank
Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of
the All Progressives Congress (APC),
Comrade Timi Frank, has condemned the
freezing of the bank accounts of the
presidential running-mate of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Peter Obi.
The PDP in a statement on Saturday cried
out over the stoppage of transactions on all
accounts belonging to Obi, wife, his family
members and their businesses by agencies
of the Muhammadu Buhari administration.
Frank in a statement made available on
Sunday described freezing of Obi’s accounts
as an act of wickedness, senselessness and
desperation by the President Muhammadu
Buhari’s administration.
He noted that President Muhammadu
Buhari’s administration by using such tactics
of depriving the opposition figures access to
their personal resources had failed.
According to Frank, if the PDP and former
President Goodluck Jonathan, who performed
well could lose election in 2015 despite
access to huge resources, nothing will stop
Buhari’s and APC’s total defeat in 2019.
The statement read: “In the history of Nigeria,
and in the history of democracy in Nigeria,
we have never seen a government this
wicked to its citizens and to the opposition
like this present government.
“Let me remind Buhari not to forget that he
was poor before he became President in
2015, if today he has corruptly enriched
himself – thinking that he will use the
proceeds to buy votes during the election
while trying to impoverish the opposition –
Nigerians will prove him otherwise.
“He has forgotten that his election was
sponsored by Nigerians who believed in his
course, otherwise he would not have become
President.
“No amount of blackmail and witch-hunt
against businessmen and opposition
politicians in the country will give him
victory come 2019. No true Nigerian will
behave the way he treats Nigerians and
opposition.”
While accusing the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC) of bias, Frank
queried why the anti-graft agency has not
frozen the accounts of Vice President Yemi
Osinbajo -who is allegedly involved in
NEMA’s financial scandal – and that of the
National Chairman of APC, Adams
Oshiomhole – for allegedly receiving bribes
during the party’s primaries.
“Buhari’s actions are beginning to make us
doubt if indeed he is the Muhammadu Buhari
we know or the Jubril from Sudan as alleged
by so many people. It will only take a
foreigner to treat citizens and the opposition
the way Buhari is treating Nigerians at the
moment.
“I want to remind Buhari that he was once in
the opposition and he was never treated the
way he is treating Atiku Abubakar and the
opposition today.
“In any case, whether it is Buhari or the
alleged Jubril that is at the helm of the affairs
in Nigeria, come February 16, 2019,
Nigerians will take their country back by
voting out Buhari or Jubril or both,” Frank
stated.
