Timi Frank Petitions US to Probe Gbajabiamila’s Remarks, Demands His Resignation
Political activist Timi Frank has written to the United States government to investigate Femi Gbajabiamila, the President’s Chief of Staff, over comments he says threaten Nigeria’s democracy. Frank’s petition follows a leaked video in which Gbajabiamila urges an opposition lawmaker to remain in a smaller party to divide rivals and hints at court support. Frank calls the remarks reckless and an infringement on judicial independence. He asserts the comments reveal a deliberate effort by the Presidency to weaken parties such as the PDP, SDP, NNPP and ADC. Frank also urges US authorities to examine Gbajabiamila’s tax and financial compliance as an American citizen. Insisting that resignation is the only honourable response, Frank warns that public office holders must respect the rule of law and safeguard Nigeria’s multiparty system.
