Former Deputy National Publicity
Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank has asked
Nigerians to publicly apologise to former President Goodluck Jonathan for
working against his re-election in 2015.
Frank said in a statement made
available to newsmen in Abuja that traditional rulers, religious leaders and
other Nigerians who sabotaged the Jonathan government must apologise to him if
the nation is to move forward.
He said while the current
security challenges facing the nation were there during the Jonathan era, the
political activist alleged that they were better managed by the Jonathan
government.
While acknowledging that there
were things the Jonathan government should have done better, he said Nigerians
made the wrong choice by electing the current administration, pointing out that
he has publicly apologised to the former President.
He said: “I call on Nigerians
that we should beg former President Goodluck Jonathan for wrongly voted him out
and sabotaged his government. I must confess that as an APC figure in 2015, we
fabricated many lies against Jonathan, though I have publicly apologised to him
but other Nigerians, especially the pastors, Imams, traditional rulers and
other opinion leaders should beg for forgiveness too.
“It is obvious now that insecurity in our
Nation has gone out of hand. The challenge was limited to a zone under Goodluck
Jonathan but presently no state, including General Buhari’s home state is
secured.
“Under Jonathan, Fulani herdsmen
were using stick but they now carry AK 47. Under Jonathan, lives of Nigerians
were more important despite the challenges but under Buhari, cows are more
important than lives.
“There was democracy and rule of
law under Jonathan but its now rule of force and impunity. Under Jonathan,
National Assembly were active and working but its now a rubber stamp.
“Under Jonathan, Nigerians abroad
were relocating back home but under Buhari Nigerians are running away. Under
Jonathan Nigerians are respected all over the world but that has since gone
under Buhari.
“Under Jonathan Nigerians were
crying in tears but now Nigerians are crying in blood Under Jonathan, there was
freedom of speech but that has long gone under the APC administration.
“Under Jonathan, poverty, hunger
and unemployment were not as bad as it is today. Under Jonathan Nigeria was a
united Nation but sentiments have taken over now. As it is now, all the
institutions of government that were working well under Jonathan have all been
blackmailed and politicised.
“So, I call on others who
betrayed Jonathan to come out publicly and apologise to him. I also use this
opportunity to appeal to former President Jonathan to forgive Nigerians and
bless the Nation against the evils that have pervaded the land.”
