Timi Frank, former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), has threatened to publish names and amounts
paid to Adams Oshiomhole, APC National Chairman during the party
primaries. He also claimed that Oshiomhole collected over $50million
from different aspirants and candidates. According to Frank, a large
percentage of the money was paid to Oshiomhloe through proxies from Imo,
Zamfara, Adamawa, Ogun states, among others. An exclusive report by
SaharaReporters on Thursday revealed that the Department of State
Services (DSS) has written to President Buhari, asking him to prosecute
Oshiomhole for allegedly receiving at least $55million in relation to
the nationwide primaries of the party. However, in a statement signed in
Abuja on Thursday, the former APC spokesman threatened to "publish the
names and amounts paid to lobby the national chairman to clear aspirants
and substitute the names of duly elected candidates with those that
failed". "I dare say that this singular act of refusing to order the
prosecution of Oshiomhole over sundry acts of bribery and corruption he
committed as contained in the DSS report, President Buhari has shown
that his APC-led administration is a stinking house of corruption," he
said. Expressing surprise at Oshiomhole's latest ordeal, he said the
former labour leader will go down in history as a party chairman who
allegedly received such "humongous bribe within a short period of time
in office". Frank, however, called on the president to act on the
recommendations of the DSS by ordering "Oshiomhole's sack and
prosecution, if his (Buhari) government is actually fighting corruption
or opposition". He continued: "We are in the know that President
Muhammadu Buhari has received the DSS report on Adams Oshiomhole and
Nigerians are patiently waiting for the action or inaction of his
government, because this is an administration that has claimed fighting
corruption as an achievement.In the history of party administration in
Nigeria, no party chairman has been accused of collecting the
jaw-breaking amount of money allegedly collected within a short period
in office like Comrade Oshiomhole has allegedly done.Instead of
Oshiomhole to clear his name, he has taken to diversionary path asking
the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki to resign. Nigerians are not
gullible. We shall wait to see how the acclaimed anti-corruption regime
will act on this particular issue.This same Oshiomhole has been
attacking the Senate President, calling on him to resign on moral
ground. Can Oshiomhole now step aside while investigation into his
financial malfeasance is ongoing to justify his much talked about
morality?"The post Former APC spokesman, Timi Frank threatens to publish names of politicians who 'bribed' Adams Oshiomhole appeared first on EMIRATCO Blog.
