A political activist, Timi Frank, has condemned the call for
probe of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, ex-Senate President, Bukola
Saraki, ex-Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, Senator Dino
Melaye and himself.
He said the All Progressives Congress (APC) demanded
investigation of the Peoples Democratc Party (PDP) after the arrest of Ramon
Abbas aka Hushpuppi, because it wanted the downfall of opposition leaders.
The Nigerian was recently arrested in Dubai and extradited
to the United States where he is currently facing trial.
In a statement on Tuesday, Frank said in making the call,
APC merely relied on images of the politicians with Hushpuppi at a public function.
Frank noted that photographs do not prove any of them had
business dealings of any kind with him.
He stated that Hushpupi, like any other Nigerian, asked for
photos with the PDP stalwarts, and they obliged.
Frank said it was beyond the comprehension of the APC,
“because Nigerians loathe them and run away from them whenever they come across
them in foreign countries, hence they are trying to rope us into imaginary
business dealings with Hushpuppi.”
“Does the APC think that the USA and its security agencies,
like the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) make arrests before
investigation? Does the APC government not realise that the investigation was
carried out before Hushpuppi was arrested?
Frank stressed that America is not Nigeria “where APC
militant wing, alias the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and
other security agencies, go about harassing innocent citizens even before any
investigation is carried out”.
He said the federal government and “sycophantic town criers
are very good at weaving lies, propaganda, stealing and embezzlement of public
funds, supporting Boko Haram insurgents, bandits and protecting APC political
Hushpuppis”.
Frank mocked “the cabals in the Villa”, noting that before
2015, “they were in debt and extreme poverty but have within the last five
years of Buhari’s regime become multi-billionaires”.
The outspoken critic noted that they “acquired Etisalat, now
known as 9Mobile, Keystone Bank, etc. Some of these APC political hushpuppies
even had bullion vans in their houses during the 2019 presidential election
campaigns.”
He recalled how an APC governor “opened a bank in his
‘Babariga’ where he openly pocketed huge amounts of dollars without personal
shame or repercussions from this government”.
The activist alleged that billions of dollars have been
taken away at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Federal
Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and other government agencies under the APC
regime.
“The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of
Justice, last week, called for the sack of the head of the EFCC over corruption
allegations. The EFCC boss, Ibrahim Magu, is presently being quizzed by a
Presidential Panel. What can be more embarrassing to a country than for the
head of its anti-graft crusade to be indicted for corruption?”

Frank advised the government to “bury their head in shame.
This is the most corrupt democratic administration in the history of our
beloved country. If Hushpuppi had been extradited to Nigeria, this corrupt and
clueless Buhari-led APC regime would have set him free.”
The former APC deputy spokesman added that the FBI does not
need anybody to urge them to investigate any individual.
Frank warned the Buhari administration and the APC to stop
wasting time sponsoring unnecessary protests.
He urged them to focus on delivering, “the fake promises
they made to Nigerians during their electioneering campaigns and to think of
how to repay all the debts they have accumulated through incessant foreign and
local loans”.
