Suspended National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Timi Frank, on Sunday charged the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo to make public the report of Presidential committee investigating the controversial $43m found in an apartment by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in an apartment in Ikoyi, Lagos State.
Frank noted that failure of Osinbajo to disclose the findings of the committee may jeopardize the fight against corruption.
In a statement he issued in Abuja, the former spokesman of the ruling party said the findings of the reports ought to have been released to show transparency in the war against corruption.
Frank, who insisted that the continued delay in making public the outcome of committee’s finding might begin to give room to rumours and speculations said not only Nigerians were waiting to know the report but also “the international community.”
Noting that anybody found guilty should not be protected, Frank said, “The NIA and SGF’s reports should no longer be kept away from Nigerians. These reports should be released within the shortest possible time to allay the fears among a section of Nigerians”.
Frank said, “It is high time this report is make public to proof to the world that our party means it when we say we are fighting corruption, because do as said is the hallmark of integrity in governance.
“The reports of discovery of large amount of money as $43M without true identity of the owner in a country where government cannot pay salaries or increase the meager being paid the hard working civil servants, where poverty, hunger and massive unemployment are order of the day, should not be delayed or swept under the carpet.”
