The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has reacted to the judgment of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal on the Feb. 23 presidential election, Igbere TV reports.

Igbere TV had reported that the Tribunal, Wednesday, upheld Buhari’s re-election, striking out all petitions brought against him by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

Reacting in a statement made available to Igbere TV on Wednesday, the CUPP said it received with shock, the final verdict of the Tribunal which sat in Abuja.

Spokesman for the CUPP, Mr Imo Ugochinyere, said the coalition rejected the verdict since the “CUPP viewed it as law turned upside down and an insult and a provocation to Nigerians.”

Full Statement,

“From the totality of the judgment, the Court of Appeal PEPT panel has lost the rare opportunity presented to it by the petition of the consensus opposition candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to put an end to electoral fraud, leadership incompetence and the imposition of an unfit leader on the people.

“By their judgment today, majority of Nigerians who had believed, though erroneously, that the judiciary was indeed independent have been brazenly awakened to the fact and correct belief that the Presidency had successfully hijacked the judiciary and Nigerians can only expect judgments and not justice.

“All credible observer groups both local and international were unanimous in their verdict that the election was below the standard of the 2015 and was massively rigged in favour of the President, the Court of Appeal wasted the opportunity and have by so doing endorsed the insecurity in the land, mismanagement of national resources, electoral fraud, forgery of documents and certificates submitted to INEC and indeed threatened the very foundations of our democracy.

“Could the Court as it had done in times past not this time also considered the state of the nation, mood of Nigerians, national security issues and taken a decision boldly, impartially and firmly in the interest of Nigerians and Nigeria? Today’s judgment is a manipulation of the law and the brazen use of technicality to stamp injustice, Rob the people of justice and deny the nation the chance to have a leader that they truly elected in the Person of Atiku Abubakar.

“The nation weeps today, West Africa is crying and the International community is in shock. Our brothers who are being held hostages by poverty, bandits, killed daily etc are now in coma as the Appeal Court have used today’s judgment to deny them a saviour and foisted on them a leader who was not eligible for presidential office, a leader who does not have the capacity to govern, a leader who rode on the blood of our people to power using security agencies, a leader who employs divisive weapon and ethnicity in governance and a leader who claims to be fighting corruption but dinning and sleeping with men known to be corrupt. The nation is the loser today, not Atiku Abubakar or the opposition.”

THE NATION newspaper?

Okay...


I do not find any reason why people fail to understand the mechanism of politics.Will their rejection matter when it has been ruled that buhari is the winner?

The reason why he uprooted onnoghen was to place a northerner who would be under his jurisdiction.
It's better to accept and move on than to be stuck in a blame-game.

If other way round, they will still say the same thing.

Attention seekers every where.

Pls let sleeping dogs lie.

Buhari will step aside by 2023 and then, Nigerians can CUM together and elect a better leader, we hope.

Yesterday the whole world saw how the judge became the defense attorney.

Sometimes I wonder if these corrupt judges even bother about the long term implications of their judgment. The Judge was literally doing the Buhari legal counsel's dirty laundry.



#ThisNigeriaSef

Everybody from every angle just want to collect as much money from Atiku as they can.
This Camerounian is in serious trouble. His lawyers have prepared his case for the supreme court since 4 months ago, they were seriously praying for Atiku to loose yesterday. They must take back major part of Nigeria money he stole. Cameroun should wake up and take their son back ASAP, so he won't come home broke!

Instead of them to be happy for Atiku for cumming at last after a long time of hard erection, , they still want him to hold his cum till he falls down and quench. Wicked people

The only contest Atiku can win PMB is an eating contest!

It is so sad to continue this way.

These people should let the sleeping dog lie

It's not a matter of political party.. No no no... We ain't bothered about that... What we need in this country are Visionary leaders

I ain't siding anybody (Neither Buhari or Atiku) Thoo

God bless Nigeria

Pls can we let Atiku and Buhari rest? Atiku dis and dat. Buhari dis and dat

Las las NAh we go suffer am.

Ok

Lol. What is their own there now? Atiku's chances was before and during the elections and since he didn't make it out during those periods, he should just forget it. It will take not a miracle but a black magic to oust a president through the tribunal/court.

And I laughed when PDP's lead counsel said we are heading to the supreme court. Tanko will be like

Other political parties with a sum up total votes of less than 10,000...

Don't worry! What do you expect when there is nothing to wail on again?

NIGERIA IS CURSED

A decision we already knew before the general elections? This should also go out to all employers. Don't ask for qualifications anymore. Those seeking jobs should just bring a school picture and a guarantor who'd stand that they went to school and are "eminently qualified" for the job. We should keep that same energy at all levels.

Let them go to UN this time around, Buhari shall still will by the grace of God, with about 4million vote Gap what is there arbitration this time around.?
If you believe the Tribunal verdict is OK raise your hand

Definitely... Well said...
I still don't understand how sane people supports someone with no school cert..
Today, my cert with the Army
Tomorrow, lost..

Some idiots even said he was once a military president..
Yes! Did Gowan had any cert when he became president too?...

Rubbish nonsense.

Wat a shame.....

Nigeria is a country of new invention, creating laws to suit you. God bless my beloved country.
