- The PDP recently alleged that the accounts of its vice presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, has been frozen
- The party blamed the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the frozen accounts -
- Former APC chieftain, Comrade Timi Frank, has condemned the action
Former deputy national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has condemned the freezing of the bank accounts of the presidential running-mate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi, describing it as an act of wickedness, senselessness and desperation.
Comrade Frank said depriving the opposition figures access to their personal resources by the federal government won't guarantee victory for the incumbent administration.
In a statement sent to Legit.ng on Sunday, December 8 in Abuja, Comrade Frank said it was too late for President Buhari's administration to stop the acceptability of the PDP’s incoming government through subterfuge and devious tactics.

According to Frank, if the PDP and former President Goodluck Jonathan, who performed well could lose election in 2015 despite access to huge resources, nothing will stop Buhari’s and APC's total defeat in 2019.
He said: “In the history of Nigeria, and in the history of democracy in Nigeria, we have never seen a government this wicked to its citizens and to the opposition like this present government.
“Let me remind Buhari not to forget that he was poor before he became president in 2015. He has forgotten that his election was sponsored by Nigerians who believed in his course, otherwise he would not have become president.
“No amount of blackmail and witch-hunt against businessmen and opposition politicians in the country will give him victory come 2019. No true Nigerian will behave the way he treats Nigerians and opposition.”
While accusing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of bias, Frank queried why the anti-graft agency has ignored corruption cases involving officials of the Buhari administration.
“I want to remind Buhari that he was once in the opposition and he was never treated the way he is treating Atiku Abubakar and the opposition today,” he concluded.
