CUPP reveals plot to sack INEC Chairman, appoint Amina Zakari as replacement
The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), has raised the alarm over an alleged plan by President Muhammadu Buhari to suspend the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Mahmood Yakubu.
In a statement on Saturday, by its National Spokesperson, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, CUPP said the Buhari-led All Progressive Congress (APC) sabotaged INEC distribution of materials and turned back to condemn the electoral umpire.
CUPP also alleged that President Buhari wants to replace Yakubu with Amina Zakari as Acting Chairman under the guise of INEC inability to conduct the presidential and National Assembly elections today.
According to CUPP, Buhari wants to sack INEC Chairman for refusing to conduct staggered election today.
The political parties, however, warned that the move to sack INEC chairman will throw Nigeria into full electoral and constitutional crisis.
