STATEMENT BY COALITION OF UNITED POLITICAL PARTIES, CUPP

It is another Democracy Day without anything to really celebrate about. June 12th is a historic date in the political calendar of Nigeria because of its iconic identity indicative of a momentum that shook Nigeria to its very foundations and will remain relevant to our democratic experience as a people and country for a very long time to come.

In as much as it is commendable that this date has been inducted into our democratic Hall of Fame as Nigeria's Democracy Day, the hope it represents is largely absent. Democracy is useless unless it delivers to the people what makes them fulfilled as citizens of a country that they call theirs. In Nigeria of today, the productive and positive dividends of democracy are far remote from the mass of Nigerians.

The promised and expected hope has become a forlorn one because those in the position of power at the center are disconnected from the plights of the citizens who voted them into power.

Today, our supposed Democracy Day, most Nigerians have been deprived of their capacity to feed themselves and their families, unable to send their children to school, shelter has become mostly unaffordable, formal and informal sector businesses are collapsing, the Naira is at the mercy of other currencies, even African currencies like those of Bénin Republic, Ghana, South Africa and co - not just the dollar.

Our inflation rate of 33.70% is making life unbearable for most Nigerians. Insecurity is burgeoning beyond control as criminals are having a field day and often go unchallenged. Poverty level in the country has quadrupled since the inception of the current administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu due, principally, to the wicked and wrong timing of the fuel subsidy removal.

All the suffering and retrogression in the land a are solely attributable to the anti-people plus trial-and-error policies of the Tinubu administration. Before contesting, it is now obvious that the president didn't prepare to govern in any way beneficial to Nigerians or the country itself. He only prepared to win the election and, having won, he became clueless as to how to ease the suffering in the land before taking over from his also failed predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari. Rather than relieve the socioeconomic pains of Nigerians, the Tinubu administration has increased same unbearably from his first minute in office.

The only hope that this Democracy Day signifies is the opportunity it provides Nigerians in less than three years hence to make another choice at the ballot for a president who will connect directly with our aspirations and have the blueprint to take Nigeria up the ladder of socioeconomic and developmental heights like the United Arab Emirate, Turkey and, even, Rwanda.

Rwanda, having emerged from a deadly fatricidal war, has retraced its steps from projected demise towards development, peace, security and prosperity through deliberate leadership actions whilst Nigeria continues to stagnate and retrogress as a result of leadership mishap. For Nigeria to reclaim its pride of place in the comity of Nations, we need to recalibrate our leadership recruitment methodology with a view to electing the best leader with the capacity and revolutionary drive to attain the national redirection that we so eagerly crave.

Rather than find the pathway out of the socioeconomic conundrums that the Federal Government's policies have pushed Nigeria into, we have a president who prioritizes return to Nigeria's old national anthem over revamping the economy and security insurance of the people. Will national anthem put food on the table of hungry Nigerians, create job opportunities for our teeming youths, give the desperately needed security to our people, or avail the country the general developmental strides that it lacks? The answer is a resounding no! But as it is the character of Nigeria's ruling cliques from independence till date, they always take us backwards.

While we wish Nigerians a happy democracy day, we also commiserate with all of us for the atrocious environment being created by bad and incompetent leadership.

Wish you can say all these with a smiling face but unfortunately I know deep down you are full with sadness. Your case is like someone who is eating a food picked from a wastebasket and acting as if he's enjoying just to make someone eating a freshly baked sandwich feel bad.

Those who hope on Tinubu will die miserably because there is no hope talk of the one to renew

Hahahah

Na only una know what's wrong with others, na only una also know the solutions to their problems but unfortunately, you guys are just clueless in detecting your own problems not to talk of having any solution to them.

So you are telling me you know more than myself? Na you and who dey shout Up Nepa to start with?

Fingers are not equal bro, there are reasonable NL'S doing far better in life, na Softship always.

Make una stop using una present situation to be judging others, that's is unreasonable

Until we're ready, the story of Nigeria remains - suffering

We are waiting for him to read the scripted speech.

Fruit of hatrade and selfishness.

Oya do give away nah.
Do you think I'll beg for food even if Nigeria is turned upside down? I'm not really worried about myself but I'm so worried about others that are finding things so difficult all because of the bad leadership in place.
If you are so sure of your softness then do give away of some selected few that cant even afford a meal.

helinues:
Bro, let me just give you a hint. With this thread, be expecting begging for money.

No give anybody shishi. Na these same people wey dey call us jobless for years on this forum go still go back with new moniker to dey beg us for money.

Just take note

Only agbadorians blinded by ethnicity will say otherwise

Renewed Shege ProMax!

This administration should just return Nigeria to the state Buhari left it.
The cluelessness of this administration is making Buhari look like a genius.

Nigeria have never been this bad,😔😞 and to make it worse some walking dead Zombie are saying this is their best regime.... it shows there is no hope of Nigeria ever coming back to it lost glory

Absolutely SPOT ON💯💯
I never imagined any mortal could be worse than buhari 📢📢📢
eBOLA has come to STEAL, KILL AND DESTROY 💯💯
# a stitch in time saves nine

All of una na same same

I agree with them. His mission is to inflict pain on Nigerians but his rabid followers were too blinded to see the handwriting on the wall.

Country dey spoil dey go, they’re not looking out to fix it rather dey say make we celebrate the dead…

Suffer head government
I never see this kind Suffer for life seriously

The mood of Nigerians is enough to let them know that all is not well but they'll chose to make fake smiles and make themselves wickedly happy

Buhari's nigeria now look like eldorado

helinues:
We dey celebrate here.

hunger celebration or what?

NO

Don't put your hope in man.

Alright.

But since we have be celebrating June 12 Mr CUP can you tell us which year have we celebrated June 12 in abundance, good security, stable electricity etc?

Surely things are costly but the truth is we can't continue living a fake life as a nation enough is enough of packaging lifesyle, no pain no gain.

And the funniest thing is a particular region who refused to accept June 12 are now the one crying over June 12 very strange indeed.
