A political activist and former Deputy National
Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi
Frank has said the the ongoing travails of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo
is allegedly due to corruption which has nothing to do with 2023
politics.
Frank revealed
through a statement on Monday in Abuja that he has reliable information
from his sources in the presidency to the effect that Osinbajo’s travail
has nothing to do with 2023 but alleged mismanagement of about N90
billion Naira released by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) to
prosecute the last general elections in favour of the APC.
Frank
said: “The presidency discovered how Osinbajo allegedly mismanaged
N90billion from the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).
“When
confronted by the presidency, he confirmed to General Buhari that he
indeed allegedly took N90billion from FIRS but it was used for the 2019
presidential election campaign in strategic states of the South-west.
“Gen
Buhari asked for a breakdown of how the money was spent and he said he
gave N11 billion to Lagos state APC leader but when the said national
leader and one former APC chairman were invited for explanation, it was
confirmed that Osinbajo gave only N5billion and not N11billion to Lagos
state.
“The cabal is
asking to know how come they beat PDP in the South-west with less than
60,000 votes if the money was actually spent in the strategic states of
the South-west as allegedly claimed.”
The
activist insisted that if the information is true, Osinbajo must resign
his position as Vice President, adding that such is akin to the
characteristics of ‘yahoo boys.’
Frank
said since the former National Security Adviser, military colonel.Sambo
Dasuki is being held on allegations of embezzlement while Osinbajo is
also allegedly being accused of embezzlement, “they should be given the
same treatment.”
He added: “This goes to confirm the NEMA case against Osinbajo concerning the N5billion that he was alleged to have siphoned.
“The
ball is in Gen Buhari’s court to show Nigerians that he supports
corruption from his cabinet members and do nothing or he is indeed truly
fighting corruption and therefore force him to resign.
“No wonder the fight against corruption under this administration is not yielding positive results as expected.”
Frank
wondered why Osinbajo would always be the first to brand people like
Bukola Saraki and ex-President Goodluck Jonathan with corruption
“whereas he is the chairman of ‘yahoo yahoo’ in Nigeria.
“How
do we expect the ‘yahoo boys’ to change when the VP is their chairman?
Nigerians must not feel sorry for Osibanjo as the time to pay for his
yahoo yahoo activities has come.
While
calling on Nigerians to ignore the claim that Osinbajo is being
witch-hunted by the cabal, Frank said: “If Osinbajo is investigated,
Nigerians will be shocked to find more revelation about his activities.
“If
he fails to resign, the National Assembly must begin the process of
impeachment against him as a matter of urgency to prove to Nigerians
that 9th Assembly is not a rubber stamp of the executive.
“Finally,
I call on Osinbajo to immediately apologise to God for his ‘yahoo
yahoo’ behavior and repent otherwise he will be disgraced out of
office."

Comrade Timi Frank
Political activist
Abuja.
