You have no capacity to wage war against corruption — Timi Frank tackles Tinubu

A one-time deputy spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Timi Frank, has described the president elect Senator Bola Tinubu as someone who lacks the capacity to stage a fight against corruption in the judiciary.

This came as a reaction to the comments credited to the president elect, saying his government would undertake “the changes that are necessary” to combat “corruption” in the judiciary.

“You don’t expect your judges to live in squalor, to operate in squalor and dispense justice in squalor. We must fight corruption but we must definitely look at the other side of the coin,” Tinubu had said.

While reacting to the claim using a statement on Saturday May 6th, the former spokesperson of the ruling party APC described the comments of the president elect as laughable owing to how the current administration led by his party has not been able to fight corruption.

“Consequently, the statement credited to the former Lagos state governor in Port Harcourt is laughable, given that the facts prove otherwise as clearly evident by the current realities,” Frank said.

“It’s worthy to note that Tinubu, whose ruling party campaigned on an anti-corruption mantra will suddenly drive an anti-corruption fight when even the incumbent President, who has no known history of corruption is unable to tackle the menace, rather the corruption index has risen exponentially under this administration.

“As a nation seeking a change, we must demand accountability from our leaders, regardless of their party affiliation.

“We cannot afford to remain silent whilst corruption continues to plague our democracy. Those who seek to lead us must henceforth show by their actions that they are committed to a corrupt-free Nigeria.”
