CUPP Secretary Criticizes Fubara for Yielding to Federal Pressure in Rivers LG Polls

The National Secretary of the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), Peter Ameh, expressed disappointment in the suspended Rivers State governor, Siminalayi Fubara, for allegedly succumbing to federal pressure during the recent local government elections. Ameh accused Fubara of prioritizing personal gain over defending democracy and constitutionalism.

He criticized the deployment of federal power to influence the elections, undermining democracy in Rivers State. Ameh highlighted the judiciary's failure to address constitutional issues in the state's crisis.

He emphasized the need to uphold democracy and questioned the legitimacy of the election results. The situation reflects a power struggle between federal and state authorities, raising concerns about the democratic process in Nigeria.
