Attacking Peter Obi Ploy To Divert Attention From Incompetence – CUPP Blasts APC
The Coalition of United Political Parties, CUPP, has blasted the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, saying its smear campaign targeting Peter Obi was part of a desperate attempt to divert attention from its gross incompetence in governance.
The National Secretary of the CUPP, Peter Ameh, said this in response to a statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Mouka, in Abuja, on Monday.
According to Ameh, a chieftain of the Labour Party, the recent statement by Mouka alleging that Obi has nothing to offer Nigeria and accusing him of hypocrisy is a gross misrepresentation of facts and a desperate attempt to discredit a proven leader.
“Contrary to these unfounded claims, Peter Obi’s record as a public servant and his policy positions remain steadfast, clear, and focused on uplifting Nigerians from multidimensional poverty.
“Peter Obi has consistently advocated for reducing government waste, enhancing transparency, and implementing reforms with safeguards to protect vulnerable citizens,” he said.

Ameh said it is disheartening that the APC, rather than addressing the pressing challenges facing Nigerians, chooses to expend energy on smear campaigns against opposition leaders.
The CUPP National Secretary added that Nigerians were grappling with unprecedented economic difficulties, yet the ruling party has little to show for its two years in office.
He faulted the ruling party that instead of showcasing tangible achievements to improve living conditions, it resorts to baseless attacks to deflect attention from its failures.
