A former Deputy National
Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank,
has said most Nigerians are beginning to see with regret how the current
administration is dancing naked by swimming in corruption both nationally and
internationally.
Frank, however, commended the
government of the United States of America for exposing the fact that no
significant progress has been recorded by General Muhammadu Buhari in the area
of fiscal transparency so far.
The political activist also
commended the office of the Auditor General of the Federation for its latest
report indicting the presidency and all the MDAs of massive corruption.
A recent report by the U.S.
Department of State had accused the Nigerian government under the APC of
lacking transparency while listing the country as one of those that did not
meet the minimum requirements for fiscal transparency.
But reacting to the development
and other recent corruption allegations against many top officials in the APC’s
government, Comrade Frank, through a statement released in Abuja,
Monday, described the happenings as, “the true colour of a corrupt and stinking
government.”
Frank, while commending the
revelation by the U.S. government, said it is not surprising because every lie
has an expiring date, hence the embarrassing report.
He said the APC’s government had
been concocting and disseminating lies and utter falsehoods about increased
revenue generation to the tune of N5.3 trillion in 2018 alone but, “that lie
has now expired as can be deduced from a leaked memo signed by the SGF, Abba
Kyari, querying the Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Mr.
Babatunde Fowler, about humongous shortfalls and discrepancies in projected
revenue.
He described General Buhari’s
administration as the most corrupt in the history of governance in Nigeria.
Frank said: “It is becoming
clearer to Nigerians and the whole world how lies were packaged and sold to
Nigerians by the assembly of corrupt individuals in the ruling party.
“They came in the name of
fighting corruption but the majority of their officials are confirmed, public
treasury looters. In fact, the only criteria to get an appointment in APC
government is for someone to have a record of looting, certificate forgery,
thuggery, and violence.
“During the last general
elections, a leader of this government was caught with three bullion vans in
his compound allegedly from the Central Bank of Nigeria but up till now, the
anti-corruption agencies play blind.
“The Buhari-led administration
overlooks corrupt officials and those engaging in acts of corruption within its
ranks. They are however swift-footed in going after members of the opposition
over sometimes imaginary corruption allegations. In a matter of days more of
their lies will again expire,” Frank said.
He said that the recent
appointment of the Ministers is scandalous, adding that “80 per cent of those
who made the list have corruption cases against them in court.”
“But General Buhari decided to
reward them with political appointments. This shows that the General lacks integrity
and moral standing to talk about corruption because he himself is supervising
the most corrupt administration in the history of Nigeria.”
