……calls on State Governors to call for Buhari’s resignation



On Monday, featuring on Plus Politics Africa, Timi Frank, a former spokesman of the ruling party in Nigeria, All Progressives Congress (APC) has questioned Buhari’s military credentials and expressed doubt on his ability to secure Nigeria.

The political activist said; "It is very clear with the conflicting reports within the presidential aides, that should show you we are in a confused government. When you start seeing conflicting reports from the presidential villa, this is the first time we are seeing this kind of embarrassing situation, that shows you they themselves, they are confused, they are not united, they are not together, and that is why you can see under the watch of General Buhari Nigeria cannot be united, because if he cannot unite his own house, unite his own staff, how can he unite Nigerians? So it is very clear that this is just a very embarrassing situation. In the history of Nigeria we have never seen where before today, the presidential villa or maybe the Aso Rock has been burgled as they claimed, they say it was burgled.”

"And that is to tell you very clearly that this Government is very incompetent, this Government is not serious to tackle the issues, but again, I want to tell you that what has happened, for me, whichever way around, it is bad, but with the circumstances we have found ourselves today, this scenario has shown clearly that what they are suffering from today, is the same situation of what they have put Nigerians, because today I can tell you clearly, there is poverty in the land, there is unemployment, there is kidnapping, there is hunger, the economy is zero. So that shows you very clearly that the people of Nigeria are tired and now they have decided to take the struggle straight to the villa," the Beyalsa-born former Spokesman of the APC said.

“Our security system has collapsed. The situation ought to make them sit up with security issues” he further added.

He lamented the Aso Rock burglary incident, saying, "If the government had appointed competent hands, we would not be seeing all these kind of shameful embarrassing acts,"

He questioned Buhari's military background and credentials. He said former President Jonathan who is not a military man did better than Buhari who is said to have a military background. "President cannot go to Daura and stay for two weeks," he further noted.

He said Buhari is not in charge, insisting that Buhari is overwhelmed.

He insisted that just as how late President Yar’Adua agreed to being rigged into office in 2007 and apologised to Nigerians and assured electoral reforms, Buhari should do the same.

Speaking on insecurity in Nigeria, commenting on the meetings by the Southwest governors, he commended the governors for a job well done, for standing together inspite of party difference.

He urged them to go beyond the communique, saying he wants to see actions, he wants them to call out Buhari, telling him he has failed as President. He charged the Southern governors to tell Buhari that he has failed.

Timi Frank stressed that what is happening today is beyond APC or PDP. He said the people dying are not just muslims alone or christians alone, they are not APC alone or PDP alone.

He tagged Buhari's call to the USA to use their military to secure Nigeria, as a sign that Buhari has lost confidence in his own ability to secure the country. He reminded Governors that they are not representing their parties, they are representing their people.

He called the government of Buhari, a confused government. He called this Buhari's government, the worst in Nigeria. He said all the sector of Buhari government is very corrupt starting from the military sector. He recalled Amaechi's accusation at NPA former MD of looting billions of Naira. He also quoted Timipre Silva, state minister for petroleum on the list of corrupt persons in Buhari’s cabinet.

He called himself a realist, and not a critic. He said he is just a political activist and not a member of any political party. He disclosed that he has urged the two minority leaders in National Assembly to commence Buhari's impeachment proceedings.
