Former Deputy National Publicity
Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Timi Frank, has
attacked President Muhammadu Buhari over his Independent Day broadcast.
Frank said the broadcast failed
to “inspire and uplift the Nigerians spirits.”
Frank, who recently dumped the
APC for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said the speech did not only wasted
precious time of Nigerians but a stale rhyme the ruling government has been
singing over the three and half years in power.
In a statement he personally
signed, Frank noted that such Independent Day
speech should have been soul lifting, “set many in political bondage free and
show a practical demonstration to the plights of Nigerian workers.”
He said instead, the reverse was
the case, adding that, “One would have expected President Buhari to announce
good news his government has recorded in education, health facility, Science
and technology, respect for rule of law and good working relationship with
Judiciary and legislature.”
According to Frank, the President
would have made his, “intention on the clamour for new minimum wage known to
Nigerian workers; release the likes of El-zazzaki, Sambo Dasuki; and many
others from political detention.
Frank urged Nigerians to compare
today’s speech with the previous ones since Buhari became Nigeria’s President
if not the same rhythm as, “I watched the President Buhari ‘s #NigeriaAt58
address and wondered how our leader could be so divisive and uninspiring on a
day like this.”
On the electoral process, the
President spoke about, Frank wondered how, “Both local, international observers
and other international communities would condemn the recent shame, called
elections in Ekiti, Rivers and Osun but President Buhari did not see anything
wrong in it because he is using the INEC to rig elections in his favour.”
The Bayelsa born politician
expressed surprise that President Buhari failed in his address to speak about
the current tag that Nigeria is now the capital of poverty in the whole world.
He added that, “The country’s GDP
under President Buhari remains low due to lack of production and capacity of
the current leadership while our population continues to rise astronomically.
“Nigeria’s per capital income
remains one of the lowest in the world.
“Our country has been listed as
having the highest number of poor people in the world under President Muhammadu
Buhari.
“The painful implication is that
Nigeria is today the capital of poverty in the world under the APC government.”
