A member of the Central Steering Committee of Coalition of the United Political Parties (CUPP), and the national chairman of the Green Party of Nigeria (GPN), Chief Sam Eke has dismissed talks in certain quarters that the coalition had collapsed.
He disclosed that none of the political parties that was signatory to the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) had pulled out from the coalition, stressing that CUPP was intact.
Recall that the Reformed All Progressives Congress (R-APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had on July 2018 signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with 39 political parties with the aim of unseating APC and President Muhammadu Buhari via the 2019 general election.
Eke, who spoke with DAILY POST on Thursday, said the coalition was working hard to ensure it achieves its aim come 2019.
The former presidential candidate of the defunct CPP said, “There is non of the parties that was involved in Coalition that had pulled out. And I want to tell you that, in a worst case scenario, even though four or five political parties pull out, the coalition will continue. You cannot come out of a room you have not entered. There is no party that have entered into that coalition, that have come out of it.
“At the same time, I want to really make you understand that in terms of the coalition, we are working day and night to ensure we achieve our aim.
“I am opportune to be one of the 15-man central steering committee of the coalition. We are working, all hands are on deck,” Eke added.
