Comrade Timi Frank, a former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), claims that the Tinubu-led administration has a covert plan to relocate the capital from Abuja to Lagos.
According to him, President Bola Tinubu has a broader agenda that will favour one region at the expense of national balance.
He claims that key government policies, investments, and agreements appear increasingly concentrated in Lagos.
According to Frank, there is a pattern of “deliberate and calculated” decisions by Tinubu’s administration.
As reported by The Guardian, he made this known in a strongly worded statement issued on Monday, March 23, 2026. He alleged that it’s a long-term strategy to consolidate political and economic influence in Lagos.
Frank further stated that, particularly if President Tinubu secures his second term in office. “Nigeria needs a leader who is fair to all regions. We do not need a president who appears one-sided, but one who ensures equitable distribution of opportunities, infrastructure, and governance.”
The activist claimed that Tinubu’s federal appointments and development initiatives have been disproportionately skewed. The former APC chieftain warned that such an approach could erode national unity and deepen existing divisions.
Frank accused Tinubu’s administration of entrenching nepotism beyond the levels seen under former President Muhammadu Buhari.
