ZAMFARA: Opposition Coalition Sends Congratulatory Message to New Governor, Senators , Reps and State Assembly Elects on PDP Platform

.............Calls on INEC chairman to issue certificate of Return to the new winners immediately

.... Urges Oshiomhole to Resign for Leading the impunity that Have Caused his Party Huge lose

The Secretariat of Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has received with great joy the nullification of elections of all candidates of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Zamfara state in the 2019 general elections.
The Opposition Coalition is excited about the Friday verdict of the Supreme Court which nullified the purported victories of all candidates of the All Progressives Congress at all levels in Zamfara State.

We view this landmark judgment as historic, courageous and victory for democracy, especially coming at a time when the present administration at the centre is doing all it can to annex other arms of government, including the judiciary.

"We celebrate this Supreme Court judgment as it raises hope for Nigeria and its people to eventually be victorious over this tyrannical government. The violent and uncontrollable manner with which Muhammadu Buhari's APC led government robbed the nation of their right will disintegrate with time and we are grateful that there are still people in the judiciary willing to do the right thing and defend the will of Nigerians."

"Opposition Coalition also sends congratulatory message to the new Governor elect Dr Bello Muhammad Mutawalle, senators, reps and state assembly elects on PDP platform for the victory.

The CUPP is therefore calling on the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, to quickly withdraw the certificates of return issued to those APC candidates and issue them to the rightful owners in accordance with the verdict of the apex court without further delay.

We are also calling on the President of the Court of Appeal to quickly disband the election petition tribunal sitting in Zamfara State because members' jobs have ended. This is because with the declaration of new winners , the time allowed by the constitution for filing petition against the result has elapsed.

Finally, we call on the National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshimohole, to resign his position for leading the impunity that caused his party this huge loss.

"His unscrupulous behavior and unnecessary interferences is what caused the mess that befell the APC and should resign and save himself and the party from further embarrassment."
