‘Is the CUPP full, half or empty?’ – How Nigerians are reacting to coalition of PDP, R-APC, 30 others [CLICK]

Reactions continue to trail the coalition formed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with 38 other political parties in the country.

On Monday, the parties announced when they met at the Musa Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja, the nation’s capital, that they would operate under the Coalition of United Political Party (CUPP).

The announcement followed the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) by the leaders of the parties, in their bid to defeat President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2019 elections.

Part of the agreement of the MoU was to mobilise support for consensus candidates at the centre, states, and the Legislative arm of government.

Leaders of political parties who attended the meeting include that of Former President Olusegun Obasanjo-backed African Democratic Congress (ADC), Social Democratic Party of Nigeria (SDP), National Conscience Party (NCP), Labour Party, and a host of other registered parties.

PDP National Chairman Uche Secondus, Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Former Senate President David Mark, and R-APC Chairman Buba Galadima, were present at the meeting.

Some aggrieved members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who broke out of the ruling party to form the Reformed APC, including the lawmaker representing Kogi West, Senator Dino Melaye, were also present.

APC was not bothered by the outbreak of R-APC faction.

APC is not bothered by the new Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP).

APC will not be bothered when they lose in the 2019 elections, so no blood of baboon & goat will mix if they lose, that is a good sign.
