Timi
Frank who is the suspended Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the
All Progressives Congress (APC), has warned President Muhammadu Buhari
El-Rufai to be wary of El-Rufai.
Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State
Following the controversy going on between former Vice President.
Atiku Abubakar and Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai,
suspended Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has condemned the verbal attacks on Abubakar by El-rufai.
Timi described El-Rufai as an "ingrate and a perpetual betrayer"
and called on President Muhammadu Buhari to be wary of the governor whom
he said would most likely betray him, having done so to other two
presidents, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan.
El-Rufai while reacting to an interview granted by Atiku,
had raised some issues linking him to acts of corruption. Timi wondered
where El-Rufai got the guts to challenge Atiku who brought him to
limelight through an appointment as the Director General of the Bureau
for Public Enterprises (BPE).
In a statement signed in Abuja yesterday, Frank said Atiku remains
the most investigated politician in the history of the country’s
politics and has not been found wanting in any of the allegations
levelled against him.
Frank said: “El-Rufai latest outburst is not surprising because
of his antecedence of betraying all his known benefactors both in
politics and in private life.
“It is on record that the likes of former President Obasanjo
will not be surprised. Former President Jonathan, who brought el-Rufai
back from exile cannot forget in a hurry how this same man betrayed him.
It is a matter of time, el-Rufai will also betray President Buhari once
the president is no longer in power.
According to Frank, “the huge task of governance which the
Kaduna governor has practically failed woefully to provide in Kaduna is
supposed to be paramount to him instead of deploying his power against
Atiku, who is far above him at all levels.
“Just two days ago, more than 45 innocent citizens of Kaduna
lost their lives immediately el-Rufai launched a bill board in Southern
Kaduna apologising for his maladministration.”
While calling on Nigerians to disregard whatever the governor might
have said about the former vice president, Frank also called on the
governors’ forum and the leadership of the APC to call the governor to
order.
“Even if el-Rufai does not respect Atiku as a person, he should
respect the institution and the position the former vice president held
and holds in this country.”
Frank also cautioned the governor not to drag President Buhari into
whatever controversy he has with the former vice president, saying “Atiku has supported the president and he will continue to support him to drive the change mantra of APC.”
