A former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Timi Frank, has condemned the alleged $800 million oil fraud by members of President Muhammadu Buhari’s inner circle.
Frank asked President Muhammadu Buhari to resign.
He also called on the National Assembly to thoroughly probe reports of fraud in the oil sector.
Frank lamented that such a huge amount of money gotten from the oil-rich Niger Delta was allegedly stolen while the region lacks good schools, hospitals, roads and others.
Frank expressed dismay over the way Buhari is running Nigeria on twitter on Monday, tweeting “Gen Muhammadu Buhari should resign as Petroleum Minister and President of this country. Under his watch, as he has failed, Nigeria cannot breathe anymore. I call on the oil-producing community and Niger Delta Region at large to protest this current looting.
“This is exactly what the musical Prophet Fela called ‘Authority stealing pass armed robbery’. We are disappointed that corruption has eaten deep into Nigeria. The fight against corruption and insecurity was just one of those campaign gimmicks General Buhari used in deceiving Nigerians.
“All those who are part of this $800million must be brought to book. This case mustn’t be swept under the carpet. The 9th Assembly must probe these allegations.”
Frank also called on the international community to place a visa ban on all those involved in the alleged looting.
“I call on the International communities, US, UK, all should place Visa ban on these looters and their families. This is a way they can help Nigeria to support the fight against corruption. No government has looted like Buhari’s government. Our security, educational and healthcare system have failed, and poverty, hunger, unemployment are now friends to the system.
“This administration has dented Nigeria’s image internationally. They are the worst in terms of looting. Once you loot public funds you will be celebrated under Gen Buhari’s watch. Despite all of this, even Magu will go scoot free, just like others. they’re practically the role model of Yahoo boys.”, Timi Frank stated.
