The opposition group, Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), has accused the presidency, Inspector General of Police, Oshiomhole, Akpabio of being behind on Tuesday’s alleged failed plot to destabilise Akwa Ibom State and Impeach the state Governor Udom Emmanuel, with five sacked lawmakers.

The organisation's National Spokesperson, Ikenga Ugochinyere, said  opposition parties received with shock  the news of another display of impunity and legislative rascality by five suspended members of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, who he said, are apparently being sponsored by Senator Godswill Akpabio, APC government and other Anti-Democratic forces desperate to impeach the state governor Emmanuel Udom.

According to him, "We are more worried that these five lawmakers and their pay masters could unleash this mayhem on the State Assembly for the second time in less than two weeks without any arrest by the police and other relevant security agents in the state."

"We heard on good authority that these hoodlums imported by these sponsored five lawmakers, forced their way into the legislative house at the early hours of today with the aid of police men drafted by the Inspector of General of Police (IG) Mr Ibrahim Idris, the National chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Adams Oshiomhole to destabilize the state Assembly."

He stated further that the five suspended State Assembly members with the support of the police forced their way into the chambers to first sack the speaker, elect a new one and thereafter constitute a committee to commence impeachment proceedings against the state governor. 

He added that the conspiracy will never work and that the opposition parties condemn in strong terms this attempted abuse on our democracy by a few misguided elements in the state and their pay masters.  

"This desperation by President Muhammadu Buhari and his APC to take over Akwa Ibom State even ahead of 2019 general election is capable of leading to a repeat of the unfortunate political drama that truncated our democracy in 1983. 

"We will not seat down therefore and allow Akpabio and his APC sponsored agents to destabilise Akwa Ibom State Assembly and by extension create another political recipes for a possible collapse of our democracy," Ugochinyere said 

He urged the people of the state to be vigilant and never allow Senator Akpabio, and the APC to remove the speaker or governor in an undemocratic manner, as well as the United Kingdom, the United States of America to place a visa ban on Akpabio, APC National Chairman Oshiomole and the Inspector General of Police and any other politicians involved.
