The Bayelsa-born politician further said the recent El-Rufai said is truly the mindset of APC administration, adding that the governor and his party should be held responsible for any violence or killing of any local or foreign observer during the election.
“Despite the peace accord, the shameless defence of El-Rufai's blunder by the presidency tells you the mindset of the president himself, and that the governor was just used to test the waters. In any case, there is no difference between El-Rufai and Buhari,” Frank stated.
While commending the endorsement of Atiku Abubakar by major ethnic youth leaders across the country, Comrade Frank urged them to sensitise people to defend their votes until the PDP presidential candidate is declare winner next week.
“The step taken by the socio-cultural youth leaders is a welcome development. It is a step expected of any lover of Nigeria because to remove a dictatorial government of Muhammadu Buhari is a patriotic task and all hands must be on deck.
“We know that the PDP has won this election against a military dictator who has since forgotten when he came into power but any attempt by the INEC to favour the APC will be resisted and Nigerians will show the APC government the Venezuela style,” Frank stated.
