spokesman of CUPP, Imo Ikenga Chinyere, said Buhari is planning to plunge Nigeria, into electoral crisis.

CUPP called on Nigerians to rise  against any move to derail the country’s democracy.

Bellow is a full text of the press statement :

“BUHARI ORDERS DSS TO ARREST INEC FEDERAL COMMISSIONER IN CHARGE OF OPERATIONS TODAY.

“BUHARI PLANNING TO SABOTAGE AND SHIFT SATURDAY ELECTION WITH INSTRUCTION TO DSS TO MASSIVELY ARREST ALL INEC TOP LEADERSHIP WHO REFUSED TO BE COMPROMISED.

“DSS ACTING BUHARI SCRIPT TO DETAIN PROF. IBEANU INEC COMMISSIONER INCHARGE OF OPERATIONS TO GIVE ROOM FOR HER SISTER AMINA ZAKARI TO TAKE CHARGE OF OPERATIONS OR EMERGE ACTING INEC CHAIRMAN IF BUHARI APC SUCCEED IN SABOTAGING SATURDAY ELECTION AND FORCING INEC CHAIRMAN OUT.

“Buhari is planning to sabotage and shift rescheduled feb 23rd Saturday Election and have directed DSS invite and detain the Federal Commissioner of INEC in charge of Operations Prof. Okechukwu Ibeanu for refusing to help Buhari APC sabotage distribution and compromise of sensitive election materials.

“The Refusal of INEC to proceed with staggered election during the aborted Feb 16 election which ruined Buhari APC rigging plan is the reason for the new offensive action against INEC to intimidate them into submission. The idea to detain the Federal Commissioner today was on the sole instigation of the former DG of the DSS Lawal Daura who still runs the agency by proxy and convinced Buhari to allow the use of the DSS to clampdown on INEC to force them to do their Bidding or sabotage the rescheduled election and stop it from holding.

“We call on all Nigerians to rise up on against this ongoing leadership abuse and  madness which have the potentiality to throw Nigeria into an electoral violence that will enable Buhari execute his lawless order that Security agencies should publicly start killing people under the guise of Ballot box snatching.
