Under your administration not only that Boko Haram insurgents are still active, kidnapping and banditry that were no threat have compounded the country\u2019s woes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe so-called anti-corruption war of your government in the last four years only succeeded in victimising Nigerians in the opposition. No official in this government can boldly say what the recovered amounts are being utilized but Nigerians know they are being re-looted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the economic front, this administration is notorious for amassing loans. Unemployment is at record-breaking levels, while small and big businesses have collapsed without any remedy even as corruption at the state level has been subsidized on several occasions in the name of bailouts and Paris Club refunds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frank, who commiserated with Nigerians over what he described as the \u201cinauguration of a totalitarian President\u201d added that \u201cas from today, May 29th, 2019, till a court of competent jurisdiction decides the true winner of the last general election, Buhari is an illegitimate President.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He urged Nigerians not to lose hope, saying if the Next Level plan of APC\u2019s government is allowed to stand, the country might have been damaged beyond recognition when Buhari finishes.<\/p>\n<p>The political activist also called on religious leaders, traditional rulers and all patriots to continue to pray and speak out against injustice in the society, assuring that through legal means, Atiku Abubakar\u2019s stolen mandate would be retrieved in due course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Political activist and former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has cautioned President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC not to celebrate \u201ca stolen mandate\u201d.
