The APC has shown that it is pained by CUPP\u2019s recent exposure of its plan to alter the seniority tradition of selecting Supreme Court justices who sit on presidential election appeal, hence the outburst.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe attack by the APC is part of the party\u2019s failed evil agenda to turn Nigeria to a one party state and to get third term for President Muhamadu Buhari.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want the APC to know that this unwarranted attack will not deter us from continuing to expose all the evil plans of this government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe advise the party to forget these evil agenda because they will not materialise in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigerians will not allow enemies of the country to build a Museveni or Paul Biya country here. They should stop their day dreaming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also ask the party, since it claimed it has no opposition, to settle down and fix Nigeria. This is the least Nigerians expect from them. Or are they blaming their supposed lack of opposition as the cause of their woeful performance?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coalition of United Political Parties, CUPP, has reacted to the All Progressives Congress, APC\u2019s attack on the opposition and its declaration that Nigeria was becoming a one party State.
