The Coalition of United Political Parties has
expressed delight following the endorsement of
the candidature of Atiku Abubakar by the
Northern Elders Forum, Pan-Niger Delta Forum,
Afenifere, Ohanaeze Ndigbo and the Middle
Belt Forum.
The Coalition described the endorsement as a
fatal blow to President Muhammadu Buhari’s
re-election bid.
The claimed was revealed in a statement
released to newsmen in Abuja by the
coalition’s first national spokesman, Imo
Ugochinyere.
“This (endorsement) is one huge and fatal blow
to the ambition of President Buhari. A revival of
the Nigerian spirit has been born.
“Despite all the divisive actions of President
Buhari, all the regions have seen through his
destructive agenda and have identified a unifier
who will lead the mission to get Nigeria working
again.
“It is not yet too late for the President to call it
quits for the sake of the progress and well-being
of Nigeria before Nigerians subject him to the
most embarrassing and humiliating defeat in
Nigeria’s political history.â€
“President Buhari had only one quality which was
packaged for him and sold to Nigerians which
has since been unveiled and Nigerians now know
is a façade.
“Nigerians are no longer in doubt that the
acclaimed integrity of the President was only
political, a contraption hurriedly put together for
the purpose of 2015 election.
“This momentous endorsement is the beginning
of the cracking of President Buhari and his APC-
led Federal Government like crackers biscuit by
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.â€
