Timi Frank Appeals to Trump and UN for Atiku's Safety

Comrade Timi Frank, the former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has written an open letter to United States President Donald Trump and the United Nations, seeking diplomatic intervention over alleged threats to the life of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. Frank's appeal, made on a Monday, emphasizes the need for urgent measures to ensure Atiku's safety and political rights as Nigeria approaches its next presidential election.

He has called on international bodies, including the African Union, ECOWAS, the European Union, and the United Kingdom, to engage the Nigerian government to guarantee that Atiku and other opposition leaders can participate in the electoral process without intimidation or restrictions. Frank expressed concerns about the potential misuse of anti-corruption agencies, particularly the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, against opposition figures like Atiku.

He stressed that investigations must be based on credible evidence and conducted fairly, warning against the use of state institutions for political persecution.
