A former Deputy National
Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank,
has accused President Muhammadu Buhari and the leadership of the
APC of
plotting to arrest former Vice President and presidential candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar on trumped up charges of
treasonable felony.
Frank in a statement made
available to newsmen on Thursday in Abuja, said that according to authoritative
sources in the Villa, how to kill Atiku – who is currently challenging the
victory of General Buhari in the last elections – has been the subject of
series of hushed-up security meetings by the Aso Rock Cabal in the past few
weeks.
He disclosed that the
sinister plot against Atiku has commenced with the planting and spreading of
fake news by members of the cabal purporting that Atiku has paid lobbyist in
the United States of America the sum of $30,000 to lobby the U.S. Congress not
to recognise the fraudulent re-election of Buhari for a second term.
He said that the grand plot
is to arrest Atiku on arrival from his vacation abroad and clamp him into jail
for alleged treason.
He stated that, “as part of
the overall design to liquidate the former Vice President, the Buhari Media
Organization (BMO) has already called on the nation’s security agencies to
“probe Atiku” – a euphemism for arrest and kangaroo trial – for allegedly seeking
the ‘Venezuelan option’ by lobbying the U.S. Congress not to recognize the
re-election of General Buhari.”
He said that after the
planned arrest and detention of Atiku, the Presidential Candidate of the PDP
would suddenly be pronounced dead in prison just like the winner of the June 12
Presidential Election, Chief Moshood Abiola, who died in questionable
circumstances in prison while seeking to reclaim his stolen mandate during the
General Sani Abacha’s Junta.
He disclosed that the sole
aim of wanting Atiku out of the way at all cost is borne out of desperation,
“the cabal having realized that Buhari’s purported victory during the last
presidential election cannot withstand forensic judicial scrutiny, which the
former Vice President is now poised to unravel before the Presidential Election
Petitions Tribunal.”
He disclosed that
information available to him further that the presidency has ordered all APC
state governors to pull down all Atiku’s Billboards in their states and in
their place erect others with inciting and incendiary messages just like they
have started to execute with the “PUKKA Posters” bearing the name and
photograph of Atiku now placed at strategic positions at the Central Business
District in Abuja.
The Bayelsa-born political
activist however warned Buhari and his evil plotters to desist from acts
capable of eclipsing democracy in the country and with untold consequences for
all Nigerians.
He stated that any attempt
to frustrate and foreclose the judgement of the Presidential Elections
Petitions Tribunal by arresting Atiku and sending him to jail, preparatory to
his murder will ignite the anger of Nigerians and bring cataclysmic tragedies
never before witnessed in the history of the country.
He called on patriotic
Nigerians and members of the international community, especially the General
Abdulsalami Abubakar’s Peace Committee and the United States and United Kingdom
respectively not to gloss over events of monumental proportions currently being
incubated by General Buhari and his men, in the interest of peace and
democratic sustainability in the country.
