On Thursday, the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) endorsed the President’s advice to the security agencies to act professionally and impartially during the upcoming 2023 general elections, calling it a positive move.
In a statement released to journalists, the CUPP Spokesperson — Ikenga Ugochinyere, advised security agencies saddled with various support services in next year’s poll not to let the president down.
He said: “There have been an ongoing crisis and counter-accusations of security agencies’ involvement in plots to derail the President’s CBN-backed policies. Even though Buhari has openly said he gave the CBN Governor the go-ahead on such policies, politicians, using security agencies such as the DSS, are still trying to cause problems in their selfish bid to rig the elections.
“This statement by the President is believed to be an indirect message to security agencies and their political sponsors to desist from any act that will undermine the CBN and INEC moves for credible elections and rather work towards stability and a peaceful transition of power come May 2023.”
