The Coalition of United Political Parties, CUPP, on Tuesday, has alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari is planning to sabotage the Presidential and National Assembly elections.
It stated that the President has directed the Department of State Security Services, DSS, to invite and detain the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, National Commissioner in charge of Operations, Prof. Okechukwu Ibeanu, among other top INEC Officials.
The Coalition’s National Spokesman, Imo Ugochinyere, made the allegation in a statement which was made available to Journalists.
Ugochinyere claimed that Ibeanu’s sin, is his refusal to help the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, sabotage distribution, and compromise of sensitive election materials.
“The refusal of INEC to proceed with staggered elections during the aborted February 16 elections, which ruined Buhari, APC’s rigging plan, is the reason for the new offensive against INEC, to intimidate them into submission”, he said.
He further claimed that the idea of detaining the INEC Official, was instigated by a former Director-General of the DSS, who he said still runs the Agency by proxy.
He added: “The former DG convinced Buhari to allow the use of the DSS, to clampdown on INEC, to force them to do their bidding, or sabotage the rescheduled elections, and stop it from holding.
“We call on all Nigerians to rise up against this ongoing Leadership abuse and madness, which have the potentiality to throw Nigeria into Electoral violence, that will enable Buhari to execute his lawless order, that Security Agencies should publicly start killing people, under the guise of ballot box snatching.”
