The Coalition of United Political Parties, CUPP, has enjoined Nigerians to reject the All Progressives Congress, APC, at the polls come 2027 because the administration has failed to address the menace of insecurity over the years.
The CUPP specifically queried the Federal Government’s perceived failure to address the nation’s security challenges which have become a source of concern to citizens, local and foreign investors.
Spokesperson of the CUPP, Mark Adebayo, said: “This 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.
He accused the ruling APC of neglecting its duty to safeguard the nation’s security, despite significant investments in counter-terrorism efforts.
The CUPP spkesman called for a radical overhaul of Nigeria’s security architecture, emphasizing the need for a government that can effectively combat insecurity.
He asked Nigerians “to reject the APC in the 2027 elections, warning of dire consequences if the current administration remained in power beyond that year.”
Adebayo expressed condolences to the families of the victims and called for a decisive action to restore peace and stability in the country.
