The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has praised
the decision of a federal capital territory (FCT) high court for refusing to
sack Mahmood Yakubu, chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC).
One Emmanuel Agonsi had asked the court for an injunction
compelling Yakubu to step aside from office pending the conclusion of a probe
against the INEC chairperson over alleged false asset declaration.
In the suit marked FCT/HC/GAR/CV/47/2022, Agonsi also asked
the court to bar the INEC chairman from holding office for the next 10 years.
But the court threw out the case on grounds that there was
nothing wrong with the asset declaration form of Yakubu.
In a chat with reporters on Wednesday, Ikenga Imo
Ugochinyere, CUPP spokesperson, said the judiciary has proven to be the last
hope of the common man.
“I’m happy that the judiciary over the months has proven
that they are the last hope of the common man,” Ugochinyere said.
“Since our intelligence discovery of plans to compel the
INEC chairman to stop the use of Bimodal Voter Accreditation system in the 2023
elections, these evil politicians have not rested, they are looking for
nonexisting faults.
“First, it was the
CBN governor because of the cash limit policy, and now, the INEC chairman.
“The security agencies are a disappointment. At a time the
masses need their protection and help the most, they are busy collecting bribes
and serving the interest of the evil politicians.”
