The Coalition of United Political
Parties, CUPP, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of turning Nigeria into a
joke, adding that there is nothing to celebrate except pains, division,
incompetence, banditry, tribalism, and hopelessness as the country turn 59.
CUPP said that Buhari’s
leadership style and incompetence is a mockery of the efforts of the nation’s
founding fathers.
In a statement signed its
Spokesperson, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere and made available on Monday
the political parties also claimed that Nigeria is now on the path to imminent
collapse if Buhari is not stopped by the Supreme Court justices.
The statement added, “Tomorrow
being Tuesday, 1st October 2019 Nigeria will be celebrating
its 59th independence anniversary
having gained independence from its colonial masters on October 1, 1960.
“That event of 1960 was
celebrated with fanfare because of the hope that it will usher in a new lease
of life for the nation and its citizens.
“Nigerians and friends of the
nation expressed the strong belief that independence would bring prosperity to
replace poverty, peace to replace insecurity and joy to replace years of
anguish and mourning.
“Many years down the line,
especially 59 years after, the Coalition of United Political Parties regrets
that the nation has again returned into bondage under the administration of
President Muhammadu Buhari.
“The Buhari administration that
rode into power in 2015 on the promise of bringing change to the country has
turned Nigeria into a huge joke among the comity of nations.
“Instead of positive change, the
All Progressives Congress government has only succeeded in unleashing
immeasurable pains, division, incompetence, banditry, tribalism, and
hopelessness among other ills on Nigerians in full measure.
“For the nation’s 59th
independence anniversary, there is indeed absolutely nothing to celebrate
about.
“Buhari has so far displayed
incompetence in administering this nation. His leadership style has rubbished
all the efforts made by the nation’s founding fathers and past leaders to
reposition the country for the benefit of all.
“At the moment, the nation’s
economy is at its lowest ebb. There is an atmosphere of insecurity across the
nation’s landscape. Terrorism, banditry, and kidnapping among others have
become the order of the day.
“Under Buhari, the rule of law
has been set aside as his administration chooses which court orders to obey and
which ones to reject.
“The administration has inflicted
fear on the Judiciary by harassing and arresting judges at will, therefore
desecrating the temple of justice.
“Opposition parties note that if
Nigeria continues in this same path under Buhari, the country is heading
towards imminent collapse.
“We hope and pray that Justices
of the nation’s Supreme Court will resist the siege placed on the judiciary by
the present administration and do the needful on the appeal of the opposition
presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, that is currently before them.
“The judiciary needs to stop
Buhari if the country must move forward. The justices can rescue Nigeria from
Buhari and stop it from collapsing.
“We assure Nigerians that true
independence will come to them and the country under a better administration,
and not under Buhari administration.”
