CUPP reacts to violence at APC rally, donates N500,000 to injured journalists


The Coalition of United Political Parties on Wednesday, reacted to the melee that ensued between factions of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) at the rally of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos yesterday

It also announced the donation of N500,000 to the journalists injured during fracas.

A statement issued to journalists in Abuja by the coalition’s first national spokesperson, Ikenga Ugochinyere, said the donation was meant for the medical treatment of the injured journalists.

He claimed that the current administration was more focused on how to rig the forthcoming elections, instead of working towards solving the security issues currently disturbing the nation.

The statement read: “Buhari and APC administration place no value on human life. Their ambition for re-election is worth the life of Nigerians, going by their actions.

“APC is promoting violence, killing people without any care for human lives and allowing thousands to die as a result of their leadership incompetence.

“The APC has recruited killers to unleash mayhem on the citizens of our dear nation as shown during the bloody Lagos rally.

“With the lingering Boko Haram insurgencies in the North Eastern states, to the herdsmen’s destructions of lives and properties in the Middle-Belt region of Taraba, Plateau, Benue and Kogi States, the rising killings by bandits in Zamfara, Katsina etc. These depict a frail security system promoted by the incompetence of those the citizens entrusted to safeguard them.

“All we have seen over the years since 2015 is a President who consoles and begs victims of massacre to tolerate and leave in peace with others while pampering the real killers.

“The figure of Nigerians’ lives lost in 2018 alone is disheartening, yet the APC administration is more desperate to be served.

“They will do anything to remain in government, they are inhuman, with no value for human lives and properties, and this was proved in their bloody rally.”

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission
