CHIEF OF ARMY STAFF AND POLICE INSPECTOR GENERAL ON A NEW RAMPAGE TO SCUTTLE AND RIG SATURDAY ELECTION.

The Coalition of United Political Parties, CUPP has received very
credible intelligence on the almost perfected plot of the Presidency and
the outgoing APC Federal Government to rig the rescheduled Presidential
and National Assembly election through the skewed deployment of security
forces and using them to deny the people their will to choose their
leaders.Having run out of rigging options since it failed in its plot to force
staggered elections on the Electoral body, the last option left to the
Presidency was the use of security forces, a plot unveiled by the
President himself at the APC Caucus meeting. The full import of that
order is for the forces to fire on any citizen who tries to stop them
from rigging the election and subsequently label such a person as a
ballot box snatcher so as to escape any liability.
The fuller details instructions of the Chief of Army Staff, COAS and the
Inspector General of Police, IGP to compromise the presidential election
is by intimidating and harassing voters, blocking of opposition agents
from collation centres, arrest of Opposition Leaders , Party agents and
media practitioners in the field, leading of APC chieftains to swap
already thumb printed ballot papers and filled in result sheets and
ultimately use of lethal force against citizens who oppose them.It is more worrisome that despite knowing the standard rules of
engagement and the obvious consequences of purported obedience to
unlawful orders, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen. Tukur Buratai without
any modicum of shame publicly accepted that the army will obey the
partisan instructions of President Muhammadu Buhari and violate the
rights of citizens and be involved in the elections.
It must have been this position that must have instigated overzealous
police officers and soldiers in open show of partisanship to post photos
online showing “loyalty” to the President by showing the 4 X 4 sign of
the President.
Nigerians will recall that this government sacked some personnel of the
security forces soon after it came to power in 2015 accusing them of
partisanship. Yet it is now celebrating the photos of the officers
showing open partisanship in its favour.It is based on the foregoing that the Nigerian opposition hereby passes
a nationwide vote of no confidence on the Inspector General of Police
and the Chief of Army staff. Both officers have shown without doubt that
they are card carrying members of the APC by the action they have taken
so far.

Lt. Gen Tukur Buratai has been promised that he would continue in office
as the Chief of Army Staff if the President wins despite his tenure
being extended for several years after he was due for retirement.
The Inspector General of Police has a similar promise also and has been
sucked in.

This option is the only available rigging option now for the APC.
We have busted all their previous plots and are still going to smash
this one.

President Buhari is desperate; he knows defeat is staring him in the
face. He has only himself to blame for frittering away the massive
goodwill of the people. He will be defeated and there is nothing he can
do about it. Hence he has turned the Nigerian Army and the Nigerian
Police into the most potent threats to free and fair elections in
Nigeria.
Having so emerged, we call on the International Community to hold the
duo of the Chief of Army staff and the Inspector General of Police
personally responsible for the loss of innocent lives during the
election by reason of their directing their men to execute the unlawful,
undemocratic and draconian orders of President Muhammadu Buhari.

President Buhari is waiting to cut the last string of democracy in
Nigeria. Citizens must rally to protect democracy. Voters must have to
wait at the end of voting for counting of votes and declaration of
results and must escort the result sheets to the collation centres. They
must deploy the Opposition Code 20 to the fullest. Any armed intruder
sighted at any polling unit and interfering with the electoral process
is on illegal mission and must be resisted and stopped from carrying out
their dastardly actions.

We are in possession of irrefutable evidence that Police and Army
Commanders in many states including Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Bauchi, Kwara,
Imo Delta and Benue have been holding strategy meeting with APC leaders
in those States on how to undermine credible elections. People power
must triumph over the wicked people in power.

Defeating President Buhari at the ballot is a patriotic duty Nigerians
must carry out and there is no margin of error.
