2019: APC Spokesman blasts Joe Igbokwe over comments on Atiku
Secretary of the All Progressives,
Comrade Timi Frank has
advised Spokesman of the Lagos
APC chapter, Mr. Joe Igbokwe,
to “stop regurgitating load of
rubbish and file a petition of
corruption against former Vice
President Atiku Abubakar if he
has evidence instead of using
desperately news-hungry online
muck raking media to convict
him of corruption.”
Igbokwe had told an online
media that the former VP Atiku
“cannot be Nigeria President,”
attributing his reason to
corruption.
But reacting in a statement
on Thursday in Abuja, to what
he called Igbokwe’s desperate
enemy efforts to bring down
Atiku Abubakar at all costs,
Frank reminded the Lagos APC
official that the media have not
and cannot be an alternative
court to try and convict
perceived political opponents.
He also asked whether
Igbokwe has forgotten that
Atiku Abubakar remain one of
the most investigated politicians
anywhere in the world, asking
the APC Lagos spokesman to
present to the world if he has
any evidence against the Waziri
Adamawa or “keep silence
forever.
“Has Igbokwe lost the address
to the EFCC office in Lagos or
Abuja? What stopped him from
going there with all the evidence
to convict Atiku? He would
have achieved more maximum
publicity by furnishing the
EFCC with the evidence of
corruption against the former
Vice President”, Frank asked
forcefully but rhetorically.
According to the APC
Deputy National Publicity
Secretary, Igbokwe’s “latest lazy
propaganda is not original”
and that “if enemies repeat
falsehoods a million times, it
will never be the substitute for
evidence of corruption against
Atiku and indeed any other”.
Frank says “rabies infected
political Rottweilers like Igbokwe
should ordinarily be ashamed of
their dirty roles in politics and
for bringing our democracy
into ridicule”, but regrets
that Igbokwe mistook public
toleration of his sycophantic
politics for approval.
Timi Frank reminds Igbokwe
that the greatest tragedy is for
a politician to forget his originand insult his roots because of
political opportunism, which has
become his area of competence.
He explains that “politicians
that seek survival by being
mercenaries deserve more pity
than condemnation because
honour and principles mean
nothing to them in this world.
“God couldn’t have been
kinder to Atiku Abubakar. He
has survived more vicious
political enemies before, and
the latest Joe Igbokwe wouldn’t
make any difference
