The Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nasarawa state, Alhaji Aliyu Bello, has stated that the newly formed Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) cannot stop President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election in 2019.
Bello told newsmen in Lafia on Tuesday that Buhari came to power on the goodwill of the people, adding that he would still leverage on that given the achievements so far recorded by his administration.
He added that the coalition was a gang up of the political class, who were not comfortable with the feat recorded by Buhari, especially in the fight against corruption.
“More than 90 per cent of Nigerians are not card carrying members of political parties but voters, who the president is counting on to be re-elected in 2019.
“The amount of love shown through the mammoth crowd that normally greeted his visits to many parts of the country in recent time is a pointer to his acceptance in spite of all the antics by the opposition,” Bello said.
He, however, said that the coalition was a wake-up call for the APC to redouble its efforts ahead of the 2019 elections.
“As a political party that wants its membership to grow, losing any member to another party calls for concern.
“As we are losing some, other vibrant Nigerians are joining our fold and we will work assiduously to bring more to joins us,” he added.
DAILY POST recalls that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Social Democratic Party (SDP) and 37 other political parties and groups had on Monday signed the MoU ahead of the 2019 general elections.
