- Timi Frank urges FCT Minister Wike to stop insulting elders, emphasizing respect and decorum regardless of political differences and disagreements
- Frank warns Wike that his disrespectful behavior could lead to consequences, advising him to seek help for his conduct
Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has urged the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barr. Nyesom Wike, to refrain from insulting elders if he aspires to attain a similar status.
In a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja, Frank criticized Wike for his recent verbal attacks on several prominent figures, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, former Rivers State Governor Dr. Peter Odili, and the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Frank emphasized the need for Wike to exhibit decorum and respect for those older than him, regardless of political differences.
“Wike must engage in soul-searching and evaluate his character and behaviour. Hiding acts of disrespect behind political motives is unacceptable,” Frank stated.
He further added, “The fact that Wike appears older than his age does not place him in the same age bracket as Peter Odili, Uche Secondus, and others he routinely insults.
No reasonable person would behave this way unless influenced by intoxicants or harmful substances.”
Frank advised Wike to seek help to curb such behaviour. “If Wike hopes to live to 80 and beyond, he must stop showing disdain and disrespect for elders. Otherwise, he risks facing the consequences of his actions.”
Additionally, Frank accused Wike of undermining the people of Rivers State and urged him to leave them out of his controversies.
He also suggested Wike seek professional help. “We recommend that he consult a speech therapist to improve his public speaking skills and avoid being excessively garrulous.
Otherwise, President Tinubu might soon become the target of his insults, just as he has disrespected others who contributed to his rise, including Peter Odili, ex-President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, and Rotimi Amaechi,” Frank warned.
Frank concluded by urging Wike to reflect on his actions and regain the respect befitting his office and age.
