Timi Frank, the immediate past
Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has
said that the party’s National Chairman Comrade Adams Oshiomohle, deceived
President Muhammadu Buhari to depart for London after promising him (Buhari)
that he (Oshiomhole) will remove the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, within 10
days.
Frank was reacting to yesterday’s
invasion of the National Assembly by men of the Department for State Service,
DSS.
The former APC chieftain berated
Oshiomhole for denying allegedly having anything to do with blockage of the
National Assembly and the attempt to impeach Saraki.
Part of Frank’s statement said,
“Why is Oshiomhole lying when every Nigerian knows that he is the one out to
foist a new leadership on the Senate at all cost even when he knows that the
APC lawmakers lack the two-third constitutionally stipulated number of Senators
to legally remove Saraki and Ekweremadu?
“Nigerians must not be deceived,
Oshiomhole is a dictator. He does not like anything democratic. He only mouths
democracy when he has something to gain but when his interest is at stake like
it is right now, he is usually forced to show the dictatorial stuff he is made
of.
“Besides, having deceived
President Buhari to leave for London and give him 10 days to remove Saraki, he
is now quick to wash his hands off the dirty plot now that he seems to have
failed to deliver on his evil promises.
“Thankfully, a friend just sent
me a Whatsapp photo of Buhari purportedly watching Oshiomhole’s instigated
malfeasance at the National Assembly gate. If that photograph is true, I want
Buhari to know that he has been deceived by Oshiomhole. Nigerians want the rule
of law and due process to be followed in order to deepen our democracy not
crude tactics now being employed by Oshiomhole.
“Besides, any resort to self-help
will never fly with Nigerians because they know the price those who fought for
democracy in the country had had to pay to bring us to where we are today.
“Once again I call on Nigerians
and members of the international community who are now rightly horrified by
this coup against democracy in Nigeria to hold Oshiomhole responsible for any
breakdown of law and order capable of truncating democracy in the country,” he
stated.
Frank also urged Nigerians not to
accord the statement credited to the Acting President, Yemi Osibanjo
purportedly condemning the invasion of the National Assembly with any modicum
of believability.
“They are acting a script. They
want to frustrate the National Assembly and by extension destroy democracy for
selfish reasons,” he said.
