The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has blamed the last minute postponement of the General Election to the desperation of President Muhammadu Buhari to win the presidential poll at all cost.

Specifically, the CUPP accused President Buhari and security forces of sabotaging distribution and safety of election materials.

A statement on Saturday by CUPP Spokesperson, Ikenga Ugochinyere, also accused them of deliberately sabotaging the electoral umpire in a bid to rig election using staggered poll.

Unlike the PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus, who called for the resignation of the INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, the CUPP spokesperson commended the INEC boss for showing courage by shifting the exercise.

“We make bold to say that with the postponement, President Buhari’s judgement day with the people has just been shifted.

“INEC chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, has shown courage by shifting the election to avert national bloodshed because we are aware that APC wanted to proceed with election after compromising distribution and destroying materials in over 15 states”.
