The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), has slammed President Bola Tinubu for allegedly foisting hardship on the country through his economic policies.

In a press release by the coalition of Parties spokesperson, Comrade Mark Adebayo, the CUPP criticised the APC administration for being “wickedly inhumane, crudely unjust, horrifically destabilising and egocentrically unpatriotic.”

The party argued that there was nothing new that Tinubu could offer Nigeria in the present circumstance except worsening socioeconomic conditions aggravated by dangerous insecurity.”

It said the president had neither the time nor the answer to Nigeria’s problem and advised the citizens to “deliberately vote out the APC in 2027.”

According to the group, the country now operated like a leaderless society and a rudderless ship, thanks to the “wickedly inhumane, crudely unjust, horrifically destabilising, and egocentrically unpatriotic administration.”

The statement said insecurity has reached an unbearable level with hundreds of Nigerians being killed every week “while entire towns and villages are being ravaged, marauded, and forcefully occupied by both bandits and killer herders while the federal government under Tinubu slumbers.”

The president, CUPP noted, paid more attention to his personal health than the collective well-being of Nigerians whom he vowed under oath to secure and protect.

“Apart from abandoning Nigerians to the escalated vagaries of insurgency, terrorism, banditry, and all other elements of insecurity, President Tinubu has also abandoned governance. It is a shame that under this incompetent government, Nigeria does not have Ambassadors anywhere in the world today.

“Many government parastatals and agencies, even crucial ones like the Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA, Federal Inland Revenue Services, FIRS, and many others have not had their boards inaugurated after being constituted almost two years ago or thereabouts.

“The heads of those organisations are just running one-man shows while only doing the President’s personal bidding to the detriment of proper and efficient functioning of those agencies.

“If government agencies have no governing boards, whatever expenditures those agencies are making and contracts being awarded are not only illegal but also liable to massive corruption.

“Killings in Plateau, Benue, Borno, and throughout the country claim hundreds of lives every week with the government acting helpless and unconcerned for the most part,” the party added.
