The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Timi Frank, has descended hard on the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, for denying that former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, made a financial contribution to the 2015 Presidential campaign of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Recall, that El-Rufai had when he featured on a Voice of America, VOA, Hausa Service Programme, “Democracy Today”, denied that Atiku made any contribution for the Presidential campaign of the ruling APC in 2015, challenging the ex-VP to name the person he made his contribution to.
However, in a statement Frank issued in Abuja, he argued that El-Rufai’s claim was “a height of ingratitude of a jilted lover.”
He then called on El-Rufai to try and watch the campaign video, or meet with the then Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Rotimi Amaechi, if he truly wants to know the contribution of Atiku during the period.
“Amaechi has a record of those who contributed to the campaign. So, if El-Rufai does not know, he should contact the Minister of Transportation. Moreover, it is on record that the former Vice President had the responsibility for seven States during the campaign, running into billions of naira.
“Again, it is also on record that Atiku’s media asset was transferred to the campaign. If El-Rufai has forgotten so soon, the Director of Media, APC Presidential Campaign Council, Mallam Garba Shehu, who is now the Spokesman to the President, was handed over to the party campaign team from Atiku Media office. The Deputy Director of Atiku media team, Mr. Paul Ibe, was also part of APC media team during the 2015 campaign, and other key members of Atiku’s group. I do not know how El-Rufai will quantify the cost?
“Moreover, President Muhammadu Buhari, as a President-elect himself, acknowledged the role these people played as a group when he met with them at the Defence House in Abuja”, Frank said.
He went further to urge El-Rufai to desist from his political “sycophantic act towards President Buhari”, adding that the President should study El-Rufai’s antecedents in politics, and learn to be wary of him.
