Timi Frank to Jonathan: Please intervene in the PDP crisis.
Comrade Timi Frank, former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), called on ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday to intervene in the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2023 general elections.
In a statement issued in Abuja, Frank congratulated Jonathan on his birthday and urged him to continue to serve as a mediator for the sake of the country.
He urged the former President to do everything in his power to bring the PDP back to power in 2023 “to enable us to continue on the path of good governance.”
Frank, the Ambassador of the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP) to East Africa and the Middle East, described Jonathan as a visionary leader whose guidance and direction are truly inspirational and a tremendous blessing to all.
He insisted that in order to stabilize the party and improve its chances of winning the 2023 general elections, Jonathan must urgently broker peace between the PDP’s Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and the warring G-5 Governors led by Nyesom Wike.
The Bayelsa-born political activist said: “I want to use this opportunity once more, to apologise to you for the wrong position we took in 2015.
“We are sorry, we now know better. Nigerians are faced with so many economic woes and insecurity since 2015.
“I’d like to use this opportunity to implore you to find a place to forgive me personally and the entire country in general.
“The only way to show that forgiveness is by playing a role to finding a lasting solution to the challenges confronting the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the moment.
“This is coming against the background that you are seen as a father and a leader to the entire good people of Nigeria.
“Don’t look away when your house is burning. I recognise your statesmanship status and so many Nigerians support that position.
“However, as a father to the entire PDP family, on whose platform you had governed this country and the country which you left about seven years ago has come to be known as the poverty capital of the world.
“I employ you in the spirit of peace and the love of the country to intervene and bring the warring factions together to ensure we coast to victory in order to salvage the country come next year.
“Kindly do all that is possible to make PDP return to power to enable us continue with the trajectory of good governance. PDP is the only party that can rescue and unify the country.
“You are a symbol of peace in Africa, let the role being continuously played by you in Africa reflect in Nigeria.
“Nigerians and I have made mistakes and we acknowledge the mistakes. Therefore, we plead with you to find a place in your heart to forgive and forget as life is not devoid of mistakes.
“Our great leader, the symbol of peace in Nigeria in particular and Africa in general, find a place to forgive us all as you celebrate your birthday today.
“Our great leader, the symbol of peace in Nigeria in particular and Africa in general, find a place to forgive us all as you celebrate your birthday today.
“Once more, a very big congratulations to you and the entire family. We pray the good Lord will continue to bless and strengthen you in all you do in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
