Immediate past Deputy National
Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank,
has urged the presidency to stop using propaganda on Nigerians concerning the
health status of President Muhammadu Buhari, adding that the President’s 800
metres walk is not an achievement.
Comrade Frank said since the seat
of power has decided to play politics with mere 800 metres walks, it will be
better for President Buhari and other presidential aspirants to take up a
walking contest at the National Stadium in Abuja where all Nigerians will see
them and not only in Daura.
In a statement on Wednesday,
Frank asked whether there were Surveyors measuring the distance covered during
the presidential walking?
According to the Bayelsa born
politician, for presidency to make 800 metres walk an issue in an election
year, there is something Nigerians don’t know about President Buhari’s true
health condition.
Frank recalled that former
President, Olusegun Obasanjo and others in President Buhari’s age have covered
more than 1.2 metres and never made noise about it. He also asked whether the
president’s trek has solved the infrastructure deficiency, troubled economy,
security threats against Nigerians and other issues confronting the nation
under the APC government.
“I strongly believe that
propaganda will not work on Nigerians in 2019 elections but the reality on
ground. How does an ordinary walk around become an issue? It is shameful in
this time and age for the presidency to expect us to roll out drums because our
president walked 800 unverified metres.
“As at the time, smaller
countries like Rwanda and others are celebrating one technological breakthrough
or the other, Nigerian seat of power want us to be celebrating 800 metres walk
by the president. I wonder how this put food on the table? ”
Frank, however, urged the
presidency to fear God and research well before playing politics with doing and
undoing of the president.
