The Senator
representing katsina South Sen. Abu Ibrahim has described the Coalition of
United Political Parties (CUPP) as laughable. The Senator while speaking with
journalists at his office in the National Assembly said those behind the
coalition are political liabilities.
It will be noted that
the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and several other political
organisations recently signed a memorandum of understanding which aims to take
back power from the ruling All Progressives Congress APC an action that has
elicited various comments from across the country.
Sen. Ibrahim said the likes of Buba Galadima and others who have worked with President Muhammadu
Buhari for long lost out with the President because they lacked the ability to
win elections even in their wards and local governments.
He said the APC was not
concerned about the emergence of the coalition which it said will not affect
the chances of the party come 2019.''The highest we can expect is a situation
whereby four or six Senators and maybe one governor will join their ranks but
you must understand also that people are also decamping to the APC from the
opposition. We are working very hard and hopefully, will defeat them come 2019''
he said.
Meanwhile, the Niger
Delta Progressives Group have commended Sen. Abu Ibrahim for his support for
President Muhammadu Buhari. The group in a press statement signed by Comrade
Benjamin Etuk said the support of the Katsina born Senator shows his patriotism
for the country. ''Sen. Abu Ibrahim is doing so much for the re-election
project and we seriously appreciate his fatherly disposition to the various
groups supporting Mr. President and it is important we all continue to give him
all the support he needs to help the realisation of the re-election project
despite the ranting of some disgruntled elements''.
The group also described
the formation of the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) as a bad sell
that is dead on arrival. ''The decision of a coalition of political prostitutes
to come up with an arrangement to oust President Muhammadu Buhari is already
dead on arrival. Nigerians will never allow themselves to be deceived by a
party that robbed it for twenty years only to offer an apology that we all know
is borne out of its desire to deceive Nigerians'' the statement added.
