"CUPP criticizes APC for focusing efforts on damaging Peter Obi and other opposition leaders through defamatory tactics"

In a response to the All Progressives Congress (APC)'s statement, the National Secretary of the Conference of United Political Parties (CUPP), Peter Ameh, has accused the ruling party of focusing on smear campaigns against opposition leaders, particularly Peter Obi, in an attempt to divert attention from their failures and incompetence in governance.

Peter Obi, a chieftain of the Labour Party (LP), remains committed to a vision of a prosperous Nigeria, built on accountability, inclusive growth, and people-centered policies. However, the APC's National Publicity Secretary, Felix Mouka, has made statements that, according to Peter Ameh, do not accurately represent Peter Obi.

The APC's statement alleges that Peter Obi has "nothing to offer Nigeria" and accuses him of hypocrisy. However, Obi has consistently advocated for reducing government waste, enhancing transparency, and implementing reforms with safeguards to protect vulnerable citizens.

The CUPP has expressed disapproval of the APC's focus on smear campaigns against opposition leaders. In its statement, the APC described African Democratic Congress (ADC) leaders, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Nasir El-Rufai, and Rotimi Amaechi, as "Nigeria's most confused." The APC went on to describe these leaders as "greedy and insatiable," "clueless," "rudderless," and a "pitiful gang of opposition elements."

The CUPP urges Nigerians to disregard the APC's distractions and focus on the urgent need for leadership that prioritizes the welfare of its citizens. After two years in office, the APC has little to show for its efforts in improving living conditions for Nigerians.

In summary, CUPP and Peter Obi reject APC's smear campaigns as a strategy rooted in desperation caused by the APC's governance shortcomings, reaffirming Obi's commitment to reform and betterment of Nigerians. The coalition also criticized the APC for focusing on attacks rather than addressing Nigeria's pressing economic difficulties. The APC's stance on fuel subsidy removal, as described by Peter Ameh, is an abrupt and poorly managed approach that has deepened poverty and hardship.
