The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to stop misleading the public over the judgment of the Supreme Court, on Friday 7th May 2021, which upheld the deregistration of the National Unity Party (NUP) as the judgment has no effect whatsoever in the matter of 22 political parties pending at the Supreme Court and other parties at various stages of litigation.
CUPP said it is alarmed that INEC would be sponsoring and spreading fake news that the Supreme Court has upheld its deregistration of 74 political parties, on 6th February 2020, conscious of the fact that only one political party, (NUP) appeal was determined by the apex court.
The National Secretary of UPPG, Ahmed Tijjani Mustapha, who is also the Deputy National Chairman, All Grand Alliance Party (AGAP), stated this in Kaduna.
Mustapha noted a recent statement by Senator Ali Ndume where the lawmaker said Nigerian troops lacked equipment and operational funds to tackle the multifarious security challenges, and called on government to probe money released for the purchase of arms from 2008 to date.
He said the primary essence of government is to ensure security of lives and property of citizens adding that in Nigeria today, no part of the country subsists without one form of security challenge or the other.
