A political activist and former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of
the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has called on
Nigerians, particularly those who worked against the re-election and
sabotaged the former President Goodluck Jonathan to publicly tender an
apology if the country must move forward.
Frank said unless
Nigerians prefer to continue in pretence, the era of former President
Jonathan managed well the challenge of insecurity compared to what the
country has now.
In a statement Timi Frank released to newsmen in
Abuja on Saturday, called on religious leaders, traditional rulers and
all Nigerians who directly or indirectly worked against Jonathan’s
government to ask for forgiveness before it is too late.
Frank
acknowledged that there were things Jonathan’s government should have
done better but in all Nigerians made a wrong choice of electing the
current administration.
“I call on Nigerians that we should beg
former President Goodluck Jonathan for wrongly voted him out and
sabotaged his government. I must confess that as an APC figure in 2015,
we fabricated many lies against Jonathan, though I have publicly
apologised to him but other Nigerians, especially the pastors, Imams,
traditional rulers and other opinion leaders should beg for forgiveness
too.
“It is obvious now that insecurity in our Nation has gone
out of hand. The challenge was limited to a zone under Goodluck Jonathan
but presently no state, including General Buhari’s home state is
secured.
“Under Jonathan, Fulani herdsmen were using stick but
they now carry AK 47. Under Jonathan, lives of Nigerians were more
important despite the challenges but under Buhari, cows are more
important than lives.
“There was democracy and rule of law under
Jonathan but its now rule of force and impunity. Under Jonathan,
National Assembly were active and working but its now a rubber stamp.
“Under
Jonathan, Nigerians abroad were relocating back home but under Buhari
Nigerians are running away. Under Jonathan Nigerians are respected all
over the world but that has since gone under Buhari.
“Under Jonathan Nigerians were crying in tears but now Nigerians are crying in blood
“Under Jonathan, there was freedom of speech but that has long gone under the APC administration.
“Under
Jonathan, poverty, hunger and unemployment were not as bad as it is
today. Under Jonathan Nigeria was a unitedunited Nation but sentiments
have taken over now.
“As it is now, all the institutions of
government that were working well under Jonathan have all been
blackmailed and politicised.
“So, I call on others who betrayed
Jonathan to come out publicly and apologise to him. I also use this
opportunity to appeal to former President Jonathan to forgive Nigerians
and bless the Nation against the evils that have pervaded the land.”
Frank
said Nigerians should ask the APC administration what happened to the
$1 Billion ECA money removed to fight insecurity in Nigeria.
He
called on Nigerians to support a peaceful revolution to take back
Nigeria to the good old days from the hands “evil men in power.”
