“DSS’ Interim Govt alarm ploy to arrest Obi, Atiku before May 29” – Timi Frank reveals
Timi Frank has reacted to the alarm raised by the the Department of State Services (DSS) over the plot for an Interim Government in Nigeria.
Frank who was a former deputy national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), claimed that this is a ploy by security agencies to arrest the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar and his Labour Party (LP) counterpart, Peter Obi, before the May 29 handover date.
According to him, the DSS know more than they chose to tell Nigerians, Sun Newspaper reports.
Frank, who is the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP), Ambassador to East Africa and Middle East said the alarm was meant as an alibi to crackdown on peaceful protesters.
He said:
“The DSS’ purported intelligence is fake. It is a plot to crackdown on protesters and arrest opposition political leaders before May 29.
“We have credible information that the DSS issued the statement in preparation for its planned disruption of ongoing protest by Nigerians who are demonstrating peacefully to demand for justice and the restoration of their stolen mandate.”
Meanwhile, a chieftain of the ruling APC, Femi Fani-Kayode, has called for the arrest of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) flagbearer for the February 25 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi of the Labour Party.
The former minister of aviation on Thursday, March 29, urged the Department of State Services (DSS) to arrest Atiku and Obi over an alleged call for an interim government instead of handing over power to the democratically elected president on May 29.
Fani-Kayode made this plea through a statement shared on his Twitter page, titled: “Arrest the Rebels and Treasonable Subversives!” According to him, if such a move is not carried out, the swearing-in ceremony of the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is threatened.
