2027: Timi Frank Alleges Fresh Plot To Delist ADC, Warns Against Chaos

Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has alleged a fresh plot by the Presidency, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and elements within the judiciary to remove the African Democratic Congress (ADC) from the ballot ahead of the 2027 general election.

The allegation was contained in a statement signed and released on Monday, by Comrade Timi Frank, who identified himself as the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP) Ambassador to East Africa and the Middle East, and Senior Advisor, Global Friendship City Association (GFCA), USA.

Frank warned that any attempt to exclude the ADC and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, from the 2027 election would amount to “an assault on democracy” capable of plunging Nigeria into “chaos and anarchy.”

In the strongly worded statement, Frank claimed that credible information available to him indicated that the ADC had become the principal target of a coordinated plan aimed at crippling the opposition and entrenching a one-party state.

According to him, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) was merely being used as a decoy, while the real objective was to ensure that the ADC and Atiku were not on the ballot in 2027.

Frank claimed that the information was passed to him by a top source within the Presidency who, according to him, expressed concern over the implications of such a move and the damage it could do to Nigeria’s democratic image.

“I urge Nigerians to take this warning seriously because a new twist in this plot will soon surface. What is being perfected is a dark agenda designed to silence opposition parties and perpetrate a massive electoral fraud ahead of the 2027 general election,” he alleged.

The former APC spokesman also appealed to the international community, particularly the United States Government, to intervene to prevent what he described as an impending democratic crisis.

“I call on the international community, especially the United States Government, to intervene and ensure that Nigeria does not descend into crisis because of the desperation of those in power.

“The current administration has thrown decorum to the wind and appears determined to truncate democracy for selfish political interests by deploying state institutions against the opposition,” he said.

Frank further warned INEC and the judiciary against becoming “accomplices” in any alleged anti-democratic plot, saying that Nigerians, the international community and posterity would hold them accountable for their actions.

“We are already aware of what is being planned. Those behind this conspiracy within the Presidency are known to us and their identities will be made available to the international community as individuals who enabled impunity and democratic barbarism in Nigeria,” he declared.

He called on Nigerians, political leaders, civil society organisations and all democratic stakeholders to rise in defence of the country’s democracy.

“This is the time for all opposition leaders and presidential candidates to come together in defence of democracy. If we fail to act now, we may all have to deal with the grave consequences of our silence and inaction.

“Nigeria’s democracy must not be disrupted by the desperation of a few individuals who are determined to hold on to power at all costs,” he said.
