Wednesday, January 15, 2025 - The Coalition of United Political Parties, CUPP, has appealed to Nigerians to reject the All Progressives Congress, APC, at the polls come 2027, saying the administration has failed to address the menace of insecurity over the years.
The CUPP specifically frowned at the Federal Government’s perceived
failure to address the nation’s security challenges which it said has become a
source of concern to citizens, as well as local and foreign investors.
Spokesperson of the CUPP, Mark Adebayo, said that the condemnation
follows the recent massacre of 40 farmers in Borno State by the Islamic State
West Africa Province, ISWAP, on January 12.
Adebayo described the incident as a tragic example of the government’s
inability to protect its citizens.
The CUPP highlighted the escalating insecurity across various states in
Nigeria, with thousands of lives lost and millions displaced due to terrorist
attacks and kidnappings.
The coalition accused the ruling APC of neglecting its duty to safeguard
the nation’s security, despite significant investments in counter-terrorism
efforts.
It called for a radical overhaul of Nigeria’s security architecture,
emphasizing the need for a government that can effectively combat insecurity.
The body urged Nigerians to reject the APC in the 2027 elections,
warning of dire consequences if the current administration remained in power
beyond that year.
The CUPP commiserated with the families of the victims, calling for decisive action to restore peace and stability in the country.
