Saraki’s Trial: APC’ Spokesman Attacks Party’s Position

The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has
attacked the party’s leadership for allegedly leaving the
Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki, to battle with
his trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal alone.

In a statement issued on Friday, Frank described the
continued trial of the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar
Bukola Saraki, at the Code of Conduct Tribunal as
worrisome in view of the manifest flaws and in the
processes leading to the arraignment of Saraki.

Estranged Frank, who has been quite critical of the
conduct of party affairs in recent times, said it was
dangerous that the leadership of the APC has decided to
sit on the fence and watch Saraki swim or sink in this
trial.

He said: I sincerely hold that the current trial of Saraki
is not only underserved, but amounts to paying a good
man with evil. I also want to say that the leaders of our
great party have unfortunately remained quiet in the
face of evil.

“I don’t believe we have forgotten that the victory of
the APC during the last general elections could not have
been possible without courageous strategists like Saraki
who lent their political weight in favour of the APC at
the risk of their own lives send personal survival.

“I don’t think we have forgotten how Saraki as a
Senator in the 7th Senate brought the attention of
Nigerians to the fraud perpetrated by the the last
administration in the name of fuel subsidy.
