- Adedayo Akinwale in Abuja

Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of All Progressiv­es Congress (APC), Mr. Timi Frank yesterday disclosed how the leaders of the party fabricated lies in 2015 to sabotage the government of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

With the rising incidence of killing, violence and insecurity nationwide, Frank disclosed that Jonathan managed security challenges in the country better than the administra­tion of President Muhammadu Buhari.

He made the disclosure in a statement he issued yesterday, claiming that many lies were fabricated against Jonathan that made his re-election impossible.

Frank made the call in a statement he issued yesterday, claiming that many lies were fabricated against Jonathan that made his re-election impossible.

He said unless Nigerians preferred to continue in pretence, Jonathan managed security challenge in the country well compared to what is being witnessed now under the administra­tion of President Muhammadu Buhari.

He acknowledg­ed that all Nigerians made a wrong choice of electing Buhari, though there were things the Jonathan administra­tion should have done better.

He, therefore, called Nigerians “to beg former President Goodluck Jonathan for wrongly voting him out and sabotaging his government. I must confess that as an APC figure in 2015, we fabricated many lies against Jonathan.

“However, I have publicly apologised to him. Other Nigerians, especially the pastors, Imams, traditiona­l rulers and other opinion leaders should beg for forgivenes­s too.
