Aremu said while Mr. Timi Frank is free to express himself as enshrined in the 1999 Constitution, decorum must not be sacrificed at the altar of self-aggrandizement.

Stating that Nigerians voted en masse for President Buhari in 2015 due to the near collapse of governance in the country and the spate of insecurity during the Jonathan's tenure, it is expected that since the likes of Frank are in the habit of making illogical statements in an attempt to attract the public attention.

Aremu said: "The act of Timi Frank comparing the administration of Goodluck Jonathan to that of President Muhammadu Buhari is the height of an insult to the millions of Nigerians that suffered untold hardship and deprivation under the PDP years of misrule in Nigeria."

"This is the time for Timi Frank to desist from his shameful antics because the apology in question should come from his benefactor, Goodluck Jonathan under whose administration Nigeria almost went into extinction," Aremu concluded.
