Timi Frank Appeals to Trump Over Threats to Atiku

Timi Frank, the former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, has called on U.S. President Donald Trump and the international community to intervene concerning alleged threats to the life of Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress.

In an open letter addressed to Trump and other international leaders, Frank expressed concerns over plans to intimidate or undermine Atiku's participation in the upcoming electoral process. He urged the United States, United Nations, African Union, Economic Community of West African States, European Union, and the United Kingdom to engage the Nigerian government for credible assurances regarding the safety of opposition leaders.

Frank highlighted the need for urgent and independent investigations into the allegations, particularly regarding the potential misuse of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission against Atiku. He stressed that law enforcement agencies must operate independently and without political interference, ensuring that investigations are based on credible evidence and due process.
