A political activist and former
Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC)
Comrade Timi Frank, has commended the senators of the United States of America
and the America government for putting pressures on Nigerian government to release
Omoyele Sowore and by extension, Ibrahim Dasuki.
Frank also thanked all Nigerians,
especially a human right lawyer, Femi Falana, who stood up to fight for justice
even in the mist of threat to their lives.
Frank said if not for the
pressure by the USA government and some of its senators, Sowore would still be
languishing in DSS detention without charge.
The political activist, however,
declared that “truly the American government is the police of the world.”
Reacting through a statement on Wednesday in Abuja, Frank asked Buhari’s government to apologise
to the duo for trampling on their rights.
He also called on the USA, EU, UN
and all lovers of democracy, including Nigerians in diaspora to put more
pressure on Nigerian government to release other political prisoners, saying
“General Buhari’s government has succeeded in oppressing its citizens, no more
freedom of speech and the right to assemble, just a few days ago, General
Buhari/APC thugs beat to stupor Deji Adeyanju, the activist, for protesting the
continued detention of Sowore, yet the ruling party had the nerve to accuse the
opposition party of masterminding the attack, indeed this government is not
only clueless but shameless.
“I appeal to the USA, EU and all
democratic countries where rule of law applies to issue visa ban on the
government officials of this clueless government whose stock in trade is to
disobey court orders that don’t favor them, oppress Nigerians by depriving them
of their fundamental human right to associate and express themselves freely,
this government is very powerful when it comes to oppressing innocent Nigerians
but very weak when it comes to fighting corruption and insurgency.
“No government has disgraced and
embarrassed Nigeria before the international community like Buhari government,
it took the USA senators to speak out before sowore was released while our
Nigerian senators are busy rubber stamping all Buhari’s request to the senate.
“I call on the USA government
despite the blackmail to do more to ensure that other political detainees and
journalists are freed.
“Sowore like Dasuki were granted
bail by courts of competent jurisdiction but the tyrant General Buhari and the
cabal decided to flaunt the order. Dasuki spent 4 years in DSS detention despite
several bail granted by the courts while Sowore was rearrested a day after he
was granted bail without charges.
“It is a shame that this
government cannot put its house in order, they speak from both sides of the
mouth as they are clueless.
“Just last week, the AGF Malami
said he cannot order the DSS to release Sowore without recourse to the court,
yet a week later, he ordered the same DSS to release Sowore.
“What has changed in a week to
make the AGF order the DSS to release Sowore? It is the pressure from the
international community, especially the American senators and the USA
government that compelled this clueless government to release Sowore.
“A few days ago, Femi Adesina,
the spokesperson of General Buhari said nobody appointed the USA the police of
the world, yet a few days later, they have not only released Sowore but they
also released Dasuki and the AGF suddenly remember that he can appeal their
bail. The fear of the police of the world made you release Sowore,” Frank
stated.
