Fran said, “This is not the time to play politics with the issues of governance. Could it be another ploy to weaken Atiku ahead of his perceived ambition for 2019?”
A statement he issued in Abuja in reaction to reports of sealing Integrated Logistic Services (INTELS) office, a company in which former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has interests, by the FIRS, Frank said the action could be a ploy to weaken him ahead of his perceived ambition for 2019.
Condemning the sealing of Intels by FIRS, Frank wondered why FIRS just realised the non-payment of tax by Intels and Export Free Zone also decided that Intels is operating illegally.
“The act of the FIRS, NPA, and FTZ as agencies of government is and can be seen to be a calculated attempt to humiliate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
Frank said government agencies should learn to follow due process in conduct their affairs. He warned them to thread carefully, saying: “My thoughts are that some political leaders, who are afraid of his profile, are hell bent on truncating his perceived ambition.
“Today is Atiku, tomorrow it can be any other person, and for this purpose, we must all stand against this impunity. Let’s all thread carefully as we strive for a better country and democracy,” he said.
