A political activist and former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of
the All Progressives Congress (APC) Comrade Timi Frank, has called on
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Director of the
State Security Service (DSS), Independent Corrupt Practices Offences
Commission (ICPC) to investigate his claims against Vice President,
Prof, Yemi Osinbajo objectively.
He also challenged the Vice President to sue him instead of
threatening media houses over his latest revelation of N90 billion
used for the last general elections.
Frank said he was anxiously waiting to receive court summons from the
Vice President, assuring that such a move will afford Nigerians and
the international community the opportunity to hear more about the
activities of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) pastor
(Osinbajo).
He also asked Osinbajo to resign as VP to give room for a thorough
investigation and unbiased prosecution in court, saying, “This is
important so as not to influence the judiciary as well as use public
funds to pursue the case as a sitting Vice President.”
The political activist had revealed how the VP allegedly collected
about N90bn from the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) to fund the
last presidential election.
Frank said he is rather expecting the VP to sue him instead of
threatening media houses for keeping the general public informed.
“I understand Prof. Osinbajo, through Femi Falana has written Vanguard
Newspaper, demanding for a retraction. It is a move to silence the
media and those of us speaking for Nigerians. I challenge Osinbajo to
sue me and not Vanguard Newspaper. I’m prepared to meet him in court
whenever he is ready to do so.
“The VP should know that I can not be intimidated by his threat. We
shall meet in court.
“The VP is trying to intimidate everyone including the media but he
has forgotten how he accused others like former President Goodluck
Jonathan and former Senate President Bukola Saraki without any
evidence,” Frank stated.
“Osinbajo is trying to use his position as Vice President to
intimidate me and especially the Vanguard Newspaper but he won’t
succeed.
“I have also spoken with Femi Falana, the VP’s lawyer who has
confirmed that he has a letter from the Vice President for me but I’m
yet to receive the letter,” he stated.
Frank also challenged the EFCC to quickly release the reports of its
earlier investigation of the activities of the Federal Inland Revenue
Services (FIRS) under the current leadership.
