Buhari Intimidating INEC To Submission, CUPP Speaks On DSS ‘Arrest’ Of Commissions Official

The Coalition of United Political Parties, CUPP, has alleged that the President Muhammadu Buhari led All Progressives Congress, APC government is intimidating the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to submission by inviting the commission’s official fro grilling.

On Tuesday, the Department of State Services, DSS, invited the INEC commissioner in charge of operations and logistics, Prof. Okechukwu Ibeanu to answer questions regarding the postponement of the general elections.

A statement by CUPP spokesman, Imo Ugochinyere, also alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari was planning to sabotage and shift the rescheduled February 23rd election, hence, the invitation of the federal commissioner.

Ugochinyere said: “The Refusal of INEC to proceed with staggered election during the aborted Feb 16 election which ruined Buhari APC rigging plan is the reason for the new offensive action against INEC to intimidate them into submission.

“The idea to detain the Federal Commissioner today was on the sole instigation of the former DG of the DSS Lawal Daura who still runs the agency by proxy and convinced Buhari to allow the use of the DSS to clampdown on INEC to force them to do their bidding or sabotage the rescheduled election and stop it from holding.

“We call on all Nigerians to rise up on against this ongoing leadership abuse and madness which have the potentiality to throw Nigeria into an electoral violence that will enable Buhari execute his lawless order that Security agencies should publicly start killing people under the guise of Ballot box snatching.”
