Timi Frank Criticizes Tinubu Over GCON Award to Chagoury Amid Corruption Concerns

Former APC chieftain Timi Frank condemns President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for awarding Gilbert Chagoury, a businessman with alleged corruption ties, the GCON honor. Frank highlights Chagoury's past convictions for money laundering and links to the late dictator Sani Abacha.

He warns that honoring individuals with corrupt backgrounds undermines Nigeria's anti-corruption stance and erodes public confidence. Frank calls for transparency in awarding national honors and questions the basis for honoring Chagoury.

The move raises concerns about conflicts of interest and foreign influence in Nigerian governance.
