Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has alleged a plot by security agencies to doctor audio and visual recordings purportedly linked to former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, in a bid to tarnish his image and justify his continued detention. Frank, in a statement on Friday, claimed that el-Rufai has been subjected to “intense surveillance” while in custody and alleged that conversations involving the former governor, his lawyers and family members were being secretly recorded. According to him, the alleged recordings were being manipulated through artificial intelligence technology to incriminate the former governor. “Nasir el-Rufai has been subjected to intense surveillance even in detention,” Frank alleged. “The ICPC, where he is being held, has collaborated with the DSS to bug his room.

*Says N15bn bank guarantee unprecedented , politically motivated  A political activist and former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has criticised the bail conditions granted to businessman, Tunde Ayeni by the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja, describing them as excessively stringent and capable of eroding public confidence in the judiciary. Frank, in a statement on Thursday, alleged that the bail terms imposed by Justice Jude Onwuegbuzie of the FCT High Court sitting in Apo were unprecedented and politically motivated. He claimed that one of the conditions required a surety to provide a bank guarantee of N15 billion — the amount involved in the charge before the court — with an undertaking that the sum would be forfeited to the Federal Government if the defendant absconded. According to him, such conditions were unusual for bailable offences and compared unfavourably with bail terms granted to oth...

Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has congratulated Senegal’s newly elected Speaker, Ousmane Sonko, while accusing President Bassirou Diomaye Faye of betraying the trust of the Senegalese people and abandoning the reform ideals that brought his administration to power. Frank, in a statement on Wednesday, said the growing political crisis in Senegal reflects what he described as a painful betrayal of the revolutionary vision championed by former Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko and the PASTEF movement. According to him, millions of Senegalese youths who supported the movement in pursuit of accountability, sovereignty and institutional reforms are now disillusioned by what they see as a gradual return to the old political order. Frank noted that Sonko played the central role in reshaping Senegal’s political landscape long before President Faye emerged on the national stage, describing the Prime Minister as the s...

By; OLUSOLA SANNI As Nigeria inches toward the 2027 presidential election, the political terrain has changed significantly from the emotionally charged battlefield of 2023. The protest-fuelled momentum that powered Peter Obi and the Labour Party has largely waned, giving way to a more conventional electoral environment where structure, experience, resilience, and national reach will matter far more than social media enthusiasm or grievance-driven mobilization. In that emerging reality, one name stands out unmistakably: Atiku Abubakar. If 2023 was a contest shaped by emotion, identity anxieties, and protest energy, 2027 will be a referendum on competence, coalition-building, and the ability to convert public frustration into a viable governing alternative. By that measure, Atiku Abubakar remains the opposition’s most formidable asset and the African Democratic Congress’ most credible path to victory. The 2023 election was unlike any before it. The lingering anger from the #E...
