Ogun APC lambasts CUPP, accuses coalition of attempt to blackmail Abiodun

…warns society to be wary of group’s antics
The Ogun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, on Wednesday, lambasted the opposition Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) over its alleged illegal activities and attempt to blackmail Governor Dapo Abiodun and other officials of his administration.
The ruling APC described the unwholesome antics of the CUPP in the state as not only pathetic but also laughable, saying, “It is a confirmation of a group’s agitation spurred by pecuniary gains.”
The party stated this in a press statement signed by its State Publicity Secretary, Comrade Tunde Oladunjoye, entitled, “Ogun CUPP remains an illegal, irritant body, trades in propaganda, blackmail.”
The APC deplored the “recent vituperations” of CUPP in Ogun State about Governor Abiodun and other members of his administration, saying the Coalition’s outburst is “practically an aberration, considering the antecedents of those individuals that constitute the illegal group.”
The ruling party therefore warned the society to be “very wary of these individuals who are perpetually jobless as well as covetous,” adding, “they are a serious threat to decency and seriousness in the political arena.”

Press Statement
Ogun CUPP remains an illegal, irritant body, trades on propaganda, blackmail
The integral principle of natural justice resides in the maxim: “He who calls for equity must come with clean hands”.
The case of so-called Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) in Ogun State is pathetic, as it is laughable; it is a confirmation of a group’s agitation spurred by pecuniary gains.
For clarity, CUPP is simply the union of deregistered political parties in Ogun State, who were sent out of the political space by the electoral umpire as a result of their redundancy, unpopularity, inaction and rejection in the political environment.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) considered this group of political jobbers as dangerous parasites in the political climate, hence, their ignominious exit from political environment to entrench sanity in the system.
The recent virtuperations of the illegal association called CUPP in Ogun State about Governor Dapo Abiodun and other senior officials in his government is practically an aberration, considering the antecedents of those individuals that constitute the illegal group.
Without mincing words, the society must be very wary of these individuals who are perpetually jobless as well as covetous; they are serious threat to decency and seriousness in the political arena.
These individuals need to be educated that Prince Dapo Abiodun is beyond a personality that can be blackmailed into submission; thinking the Governor can be emasculated to dole out cash to help their terrible economic conditions.
As far as Ogun State and the Government of Prince Dapo Abiodun is concerned, the State is geometrically on the path of development and sustained growth with remarkable projects of indelible legacies.
On a final note, the crop of elements in CUPP must immediately refrain from their illegal activities and get engaged in productive activities rather than their present nude dance at the market square.
