Political Activist, Timi Frank, has called on a former Governor Lagos State and national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to speak up in defence of the Yoruba race now under fierce attacks by herdsmen, bandits and kidnappers.

This happened even as the former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the APC, berated President Muhammadu Buhari and Tinubu, over the recent crisis in Oyo State as well as across the Southwest and other regions of Nigeria.

Frank, in a statement in Abuja, on Monday, also decried the spate of insecurity in the country, especially in the South West, saying that Buhari and Tinubu should be held responsible for the crises.

He urged the APC leader to break his silence and speak up against the attacks in his region, saying his continued silence does not portray him as a leader who has the interest of his people at heart.

He said: “The crisis in the South-West should be solely blamed on Tinubu who foisted Buhari on Nigerians and especially on the Southwest.

“How can Tinubu continue to keep mute over the attacks in Oyo state and other Southwest states?

“Tinubu is a leader of the Yorubas in Southwest. Asiwaju cannot be silent over matters involving threats to life, peace and security of his people. 

"His continued silence has become too loud, especially owing to the fact that he was the major influence and the reason the Yorubas voted massively for Buhari in 2015.

"Tinubu's silence shows he is only protecting his business interests in the South-West as well as protecting his political ambition.

“He does not want to shatter his relationship with Buhari which in turn, by his calculation, would attract the President's nod for him to have a shot at the presidency come 2023.

"But as a leader of the region, Tinubu should speak against the attacks against his people and not be driven by his selfish 2023 presidential ambition."

The Bayelsa-born activist added: “Nigeria is more divided under Buhari than it has ever been before. Buhari's government has polarised the country across religious and ethnic lines.

"This government is so clueless and incompetent that it recognises and shows a soft hand on terrorist groups like Boko Haram, killer herdsmen and bandits, but sadly mete out cruelty on innocent and patriotic Nigerians.

"Look at the number of security personnel it sent to wickedly dehumanise and arrest peaceful #EndsSARS protesters at the Lekki Tollgate in Lagos.

“Yet, the Buhari government can't send a similar proportion of law enforcement agencies after killer herdsmen. 

“Instead, the President is emboldening the terrorist groups with his direct and indirect support, even against the South-West region and the likes of Tinubu have kept silent while their people suffer."

Frank, however, urged all Nigerians and especially the leaders in the South-West to "unite and fight this common enemy."

He urged other regions to also join in the fight, warning that if the trend is allowed to fester, that sooner or later, the crisis of insecurity may grow out of proportion in every region of the country.

Silence is golden

Understand that and you know peace...


Jagaban is an Enigma and he made the statement silence is the best answer for Fools so interesting

Perhaps if this Baboon looking black face learn to keep silent sometimes maybe he could earn 1/1000 of political respect and power Bola Ahmed Tinubu earns

Tinubu has just one vote so he couldn't have forced 15 million voters to vote Buhari against their wishes

Seyi Makinde is the Governor, Chief Executive and Chief Security Officer of Oyo State not Tinubu

Tinubu is the Asiwaju of Lagos State as conferred by Oba Onikan not the Asiwaju of Yoruba land


.

let this man be now

Hypocrite. And what has his paymaster Atiku said about the killings by his Fulani brothers.

He has soul his soul, quit playing.

TINUBU IS THE AFONJA OF OUR TIME

Damnnn niggarrrr
There is no doubt tinubu is a pussy ass coward

He is just an opportunist who thinks that whatever he says will be used against him as we get closer to 2023

Local is just speechless

WHERE ARE THE COWS? IT IS IN TRYING TIMES THEY KNOW WHO IS A STATE MAN, THE MAN HAS FAILED HIS PEOPLE.

The race is under a massive and well-coordinated attack by northern elites. Never a point in history that the West has ever been offended or maltreated in the South. In fact, they have benefited more from the sharing formula of the southern region. They will soon walk back home to the South as the prodigal son did. Only an unwise child thinks a stranger-bond is better than a family's.

I feel nothing but pity for the west. A region well educated but fair poorly in social judgment and understanding the times. Maybe in a bid to constantly outsmart their southern neighbors, they form an alliance with a brutal and wicked neighbor. The difference this time is paying with the blood of their kinsmen. I feel nothing but pity.

Richdad

Timi Frank should tell us what Atiku is doing about his kinsmen killing people all over the country?

Timi Frank should tell us what the PDP governor of Oyo state is doing about the killings in his state.

Tinubu is not a public office holder. You want him to talk so that you can twist whatever he says to suite your political narrative.

Ewu gambia

Make una free that useless old druggie before his resident zombies for this forum start to dey convulse.



Tinubu's speech doesn't matter anymore.

Nkechi blessing Nips dey Jagaban mouth and word on the street is her nips are massive so how do you expect him to talk with big nips in his oral orifice

.

I don't think he can talk even if Buhari rape or kill his wife. His ambition is more important than Yoruba welfare.

This ediot Atiku/Fulani slave Timi whatever should first tell his boss Atiku to warn his people from attacking Yoruba people. Ediot.

"...where are the cows..." -Bola Tinubu.

Tinubu wants to be a president

Posterity will judge that man

The frog-eyed baron is scared of upsetting his slave masters in the corridors of power so they can support him in his lofty/impossible joke of an ambition to be president by 2023

The man sacrificed the lives of his people because of presidential ambition. A disgrace to awolowo.

Ok

I understand why Tinubu is silent most times

He doesn't want to offend or step on toes as many people will come up with different interpretations of his stance and also try to twist whatever he says which may jeopardize his presidential ambition and that is his fear

But that silence also make people to feel that you're unsympathetic and doesn't want to get involved in their welfare

Truth be told, It's really difficult for him because apart from South West, Tinubu has more enemies than allies in other regions of the country

OP please I've been very careful with my posts but this morning I observed I was prevented from commenting on some posts.
I think it's necessary to still let people know why they faltered and reason for being banned

That big eyed man just want to be Nigeria's president. If una like kill yourselves.
