Timi Frank accuses Tinubu of judiciary manipulation
Timi Frank, the former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), accused President Bola Tinubu's administration of allegedly using the judiciary to undermine opposition parties, which he warned could lead to a political crisis ahead of the 2027 general elections. Frank urged the United States Government and the international community to intervene and ensure that the Nigerian government respects democratic principles and judicial independence.
His comments followed a recent court judgment that he claimed aimed to frustrate the political ambitions of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and weaken the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Frank described the judgment as a desperate act by the Presidency to contain the growing political influence of the opposition.
He alleged that FCT Minister Nyesom Wike was being used to influence judicial actors against opposition politicians and warned that the judiciary must remain independent to preserve democracy in Nigeria.
