The evil agenda was perfected before General Buhari left the country in pretence. It was a collaboration between the presidency and the Supreme Court. Most Nigerians were shock at the speed at which the panel dismissed the case because the judgement came as a surprise to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigerians will recall that I exposed the handpicked names of the panel members two days before Justice Tanko made it public. But surprisingly and shamelessly, the anti-democratic forces, despite the exposure still went ahead with the handpicked list. They have sold their consciences to the devil.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe current apex court has taken the country far backward in the justice administration and it will take the mercy of God for all the actors in this sham to escape the hottest part of hell.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a judgement that posterity will never forgive all those who sat on it and allowed themselves to be compromised. All those who allowed themselves to be used shall fully received their reward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will be on record that certain Justices had the opportunity to right the wrong but decided otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frank, who expressed joy in the law of posterity, said unavoidably all those who are gloating today in the injustice done to Atiku Abubakar, will have their days with posterity in near future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not all about Atiku Abubakar, he can not go hungry. It is about the future of young Nigerians. If Nigerians will continue to seat back and refuse to fight for their rights, the obvious hunger, poverty, insecurity, unemployment, incompetence hands in government and all other problems facing the country will not voluntarily disappear,\u201d Frank warned.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, called on Nigerians not to fold their hands any longer, adding that \u201call democratic institutions like National Assembly, Judiciary and others built by former leaders have been destroyed under the current administration of General Muhammadu Buhari.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Timi Frank, former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Thursday faulted the Supreme Court ruling against the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its 2019 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
