Don’t forget that Bola Tinubu’s drug-related case made international headlines, even as Nigerian media houses were bribed into staying silent on this issue.

2026 budget: Tinubu's government now synonymous with fraud, corruption, Timi Frank alleges
Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has launched a fresh attack on President Bola Tinubu's administration, alleging that the controversy surrounding the 2026 Federal Budget has further entrenched what he described as a government "synonymous with fraud and corruption."
In a strongly worded statement on Wednesday, Frank said allegations of inflated budgetary provisions, fictitious projects and questionable expenditures had reinforced public concerns over transparency, accountability and the management of public resources under the current administration.
He argued that the recurring controversies over government spending had continued to erode public confidence in the administration, insisting that Nigerians were increasingly losing faith in the integrity of those entrusted with public office.
According to him, rather than strengthening accountability and ensuring that public officials implicated in corruption face justice, the administration had allegedly created an atmosphere in which corrupt practices thrive.
Frank said: "The recent revelations and controversy surrounding the 2026 Federal Budget have further reinforced the widespread perception that this administration represents one of the most troubling governments in Nigeria's recent history."
He added: "Allegations of inflated budgetary allocations, fictitious projects and questionable expenditures have once again raised serious concerns about transparency, accountability and the stewardship of public resources."
The political activist alleged that the Tinubu administration had become identified with repeated claims of financial misconduct and poor governance.
"These developments appear to reinforce a pattern in which your administration has become associated with allegations of financial misconduct and questionable governance.
“The recurring controversies surrounding government expenditures have continued to erode public confidence in your leadership and in the integrity of those serving within your administration," he said.
Frank further accused the administration of failing to enforce accountability by allegedly shielding public officials accused of corruption.
"Rather than strengthening oversight and punishing wrongdoing, your administration is perceived as shielding individuals accused of corruption, thereby creating an environment where public officials believe they can misuse public funds without consequence," he stated.
Frank who is the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP) Ambassador to East Africa and the Middle East, also criticised the 10th National Assembly, accusing it of abandoning its constitutional responsibility of providing effective oversight of the Executive.
He specifically faulted the leadership of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, claiming the legislature had failed to act as an independent arm of government.
"Rather than serving as an independent institution responsible for holding the Executive accountable, the National Assembly is widely viewed as having abandoned its constitutional responsibility by acting in a manner that appears overly accommodating to the Executive. Such perceptions weaken democratic institutions and undermine the principles upon which constitutional governance is founded," Frank said.
He urged the international community to exercise caution in extending further loans, grants or development assistance to Nigeria, alleging that there were growing concerns about the management of public funds.
Frank also welcomed ongoing discussions in the United States Congress on reviewing assistance to Nigeria, calling on development partners to subject any future financial support to stricter transparency, accountability and monitoring

Village outreach! Please our mothers & young ones and parents do not vote for APC. Please do not sell your integrity for food & N1,000. Fear God and desist from this evil party please they don’t bring anything good for the North. This is a kind reminder.
We will fight tooth and nail for the persecuted in Nigeria, where Christians are being rounded up just for wearing crosses around their necks.
My heartfelt thanks to @NICKIMINAJ for keeping this in the spotlight.
So, Late @BwalaDaniel is still speaking? Oh, all these are throw back videos of him eating his own vomits after all he said about terrorist Tinubu. Half phool, half empty headed d0g.
For Nigeria to truly move forward, many Nigerians believe that key institutions should have greater independence and accountability.
This includes discussions around the appointment process for leaders of institutions such as the police, anti-corruption agencies, the judiciary, and INEC.
What do you think?
Mr. President, if Nigerians vote you out, you will go. We heard your supporters say you’re not Jonathan, and that if you are voted out, you won’t leave. We will vote you out, and you will go. Nothing will happen.
Make this go viral Nigerians!
Why should INEC officials demand N2000 before releasing PVC to Nigerians?
Where did they get such fraudulent orientation from? Is this what INEC @inecnigeria instructed them to do?
Can @officialEFCC be useful to Nigerians for once?
