Timi Frank, a political activist and former deputy national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has said the ongoing travails of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is allegedly due to corruption.
Frank revealed through a statement on Monday, September 23, 2019, made available to The Trent that he has reliable information from his sources in the presidency to the effect that Osinbajo’s travail has nothing to do with 2023 but alleged mismanagement of about N90 billion Naira released by the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, to prosecute the last general elections in favour of the APC.
Frank said: “The presidency discovered how Osinbajo allegedly mismanaged N90 billion from the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS.
“When confronted by the presidency, he confirmed to General Buhari that he indeed allegedly took N90 billion from FIRS but it was used for the 2019 presidential election campaign in strategic states of the South-west.
“Gen Buhari asked for a breakdown of how the money was spent and he said he gave N11 billion to Lagos state APC leader but when the said national leader and one former APC chairman were invited for an explanation, it was confirmed that Osinbajo gave only N5 billion and not N11 billion to Lagos state.
“The cabal is asking to know how come they beat PDP in the South-west with less than 60,000 votes if the money was actually spent in the strategic states of the South-west as allegedly claimed.”
The activist insisted that if the information is true, Osinbajo must resign his position as Vice President, adding that such is akin to the characteristics of ‘yahoo boys.’
