Ikpeazu To Timi Frank: “You Blackmailed Jonathan, Used And Dumped By APC” by soloenzo(m): 1:34pm On Jan 19, 2020
The Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu, through his media aide, Eyinnaya Appolos has replied accusations levelled against his person by a Popular PDP stalwart, Timi Frank.

On Saturday, Frank flayed Ikpeazu in a statement made available to the Press over his recent trip to the United Kingdom with President Muhammadu Buhari. Frank claimed that all PDP governors except Nyesom Wike actively lobbied to travel with the President, who is a member of the ruling APC.

Below is the full statement by Appolos;

“First, let us go to the Bible: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (NLT), “For everything, there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up. A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away. A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away. A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak. A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace.” So says the Word of God.”

“For Timi Frank, the disgraced former Spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and a strange-bed fellow in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), there is time for only one thing – time to seek personal comfort and self-aggrandizement.”

“For this reason, he was sacked as the APC Spokesperson, after his errand boy role in the league of politicians that blackmailed the Goodluck Jonathan and PDP led presidency, paving the way for President Mohammad Buhari and APC presidency, expired. Obviously, he was merely used and easily discarded. He was not worth more than that!”

“Evidence that he was never a member of the PDP, Timi did not speak as a faithful party man, but as a job-man, hiding under political activism.”

“It is, therefore, trite to conclude that he was truly a strange bedfellow in PDP prior to the 2019 general elections, whose only interest was what to gain in the Atiku Presidential ambition, which leaders of the party like Governor Okezie Ikpeazu worked genuinely hard to ensure was a success.”

“It is difficult to place why a Timi Frank, who was anonymous and unable to deliver PDP even in his ward in Bayelsa State during the last presidential election which PDP lost to APC, will try to vent his unguarded spleen on Governor Ikpeazu who has remained a committed member of the PDP.”

“Governor Ikpeazu is not just a member of the PDP in Ward 7, in Obingwa LGA of Abia State, he is the leader of the party in the state and one of the national leaders of the party. A committed and trusted one at that.
He was first elected Governor by Abians on the PDP platform in 2015 when Timi and his cohorts were busy frolicking in APC. In 2019, Governor Ikpeazu was re-elected by the Abia electorate on the same PDP platform. So, his primary assignment and loyalty is first to Abians, who employed him before even the platform.”

“As earlier said, according to the Bible, for everything, there is a time. The time for frontline party politics is over, the time we are in now, particularly for Governor Okezie Ikpeazu in Abia, is the time for governance. I hope Timi understands this?”

“Yes, Governor Ikpeazu is part of the Nigerian delegation led by Mr President, to the maiden UK- AFRICA INVESTMENT SUMMIT in London, United Kingdom. The arrangement for this trip had long been concluded before the controversial and unfair ruling of the Supreme Court that sacked Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha as Governor of Imo State took place. It was the sad judicial development that provoked the emergency PDP NEC meeting at about the same time Governor Ikpeazu was airborne to the UK.”

“In case Timi is not aware, Governor Ikpeazu is not on the President Buhari-led delegation to the maiden UK- AFRICA INVESTMENT SUMMIT holding in London because he wants to enjoy the comfort of the presidential jet, but the Scholar-in-Governance Governor of Abia State is on the delegation because he is the bearer of one of the most important reasons Nigeria is part of the summit – the Enyimba Economic City Project.

Recall that in 2018, the Federal Government and Abia State Government signed Definitive Agreements for the Enyimba Economic City Zone Limited.”

“The signing took place at the Presidential Villa and the Federal Government was represented by Nigeria Special Economic Zone Company. President Muhammadu Buhari, who witnessed the signing, commended Governor Okezie Ikpeazu for initiating the Project, and thanked the Abia State host communities for their commitment to it.”

“The President further assured the people of Abia State and other Nigerians of the Federal Government’s support and cooperation towards similar projects anywhere in the country. President Buhari specifically commended Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, and some private sector investors who initiated and midwifed the Enyimba Economic City Zone project.”

“He said such initiatives were exactly what his administration was desperately looking for to create employment for the populace and boost the nation’s economy. So, the inclusion of Governor Ikpeazu on the delegation to the maiden UK-AFRICA INVESTMENT SUMMIT in London, is another opportunity for Nigeria, through Governor Ikpeazu, to speak to the world about the Enyimba Economic City project, and why their buy-in is necessary.”

“At the UK summit, the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, will be hosting African leaders, International Business Chief Executives and Heads of International Organizations, to create new partnerships that will deliver more investments and jobs to the benefit of people and businesses in African countries and the UK.”

“Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, as the initiator of the Enyimba Economic City project will speak to selected potential investors, on the invitation of the Department for International Development (DFID), on the need to key into the project situated in Aba.”

“Recall also that in November 2019, Governor Ikpeazu secured the nod of the African Development Bank (AfDB), private investors and other multilateral financial institutions for the investment of $430 million to fast track the development of the first phase of Enyimba Economic City, at the Africa Investment Forum (AIF) that held in Johannesburg, South Africa.”

“The city is a proposed free-trade zone, with independent business registry, labour law, banking regulations and more. It is located on over 9,500 hectares of land in the oil-producing communities of Abia State, between Aba and Port Harcourt.”

“Many participants at the South African forum agreed that Enyimba Economic City is a project worthy of their commitment and demonstrated their willingness to invest in the City.The UK- AFRICA INVESTMENT SUMMIT has presented, yet, another opportunity for Governor Ikpeazu to speak, expound and present the Enyimba Economic City project at the world stage.”

“Much as Governor Ikpeazu is not responsible for Timi’s unguarded spleen, no leader would prefer to attend a party meeting to attending a Summit where his ideas and programs for his people will be beamed at the global stage. I can assure Timi Frank that even the PDP is proud of this City, being the brainchild of one of its leading stars. Indeed there is time for everything.”

First of all, I dont know Appolos but Timi Frank j know very well.
Secindly, who ever employed Appolos is of a sound mind and Appolos is very professional in his job.
Timi Frank is a jobless man and he is pained that he has no job. He is in the same class with Fani Kayode: they hide under the unfurled banner of political activism to make unguarded and often unreasonable remarks on issues, seek relevance and look for who to collect money from....once powerful, now mere jobbers!!!
As the APC deputy spokesman, what did Frank achieve ? Why did the party not make him the spokesman when the then spokesman became a minister? The party knows he is worth nothing but a piece of shit on which he makes his noise and scavanges for relevance and money.

It's an insult for Frank to talk about Ikpeazu in the way and manner he did. I almost reacted to that but I remembered the governor and the government of Abia state will have very many able and capable spokespersons. Thank you Appolos for doing a nice job and shuting the rabble rouser Frank up with a sincere and true picture of the realities of the governors trip to the UK. Frank Owens Gov Ikpeazu and the good people of Abia an apology for his silly tantrums. But hungry shameless men have no honour, and dignity. They are down and want to drag others to the mud with them.

Is Frank stupidly thinking that Ikpwazu should not attend the global summit simply because PDP lost a governor?
If he were in Ikpeazu's shoes, can he truthfully say he would not join the president on the trip?
If Buhari gives him an appointment, can Frank turn it down on principles? I can go on and on. Bit somebody should tell my friend Frank that he cannot be holier than the Pope!

I like the introductory part of the reply from Abia State government. "There is a time for everything" & frankly speaking Timi Frank only know how to accuse & insult but little is known about him giving credible suggestions to people in government

cool


Buhari is using the trip to discuss bitter divissive politics with the Governors, last foreign trip he took Obaseki along and gave him courage to disrespect Oshiomole and even gave him backing to suspende him and use police to disrupt his rally

Buhari had already used the shameless Kerosine Ikpeazu to proscribe IPOB, am sure the plan is to use him again to disrupt any attempt of SouthEast Regional Secuirity

I hope our SouthEast Brothers are very carefull of this Ikpeazu snake

For the records, Mr. Frank didn't work for APC, he only worked for a dumbass Atiku, who's alleged to be his gay partner.
