The  Coalition of United Political Parties ( CUPP) has declared that their consensus candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, is the only viable option for Nigeria's survival.

CUPP said  in a statement marking the end of campaigns ahead of Saturday's Presidential and National  Assembly polls,  said after a careful review of the plans, programmes and visions of all the actual presidential candidates in the race, it has come to the unassailable conclusion that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is the only viable option for Nigeria’s survival. 

The CUPP spokesperson, Ikenga Ugochinyere, who issued the statement in Abuja, stated that Pr
esident Buhari is already feeling the heat of his rejection and impending defeat hence his resort to alleged reckless and childish rigging plans and sabotage of the electoral process.

He said, "The APC-led administration are still grappling to fulfill any of the promises made to Nigerians and are repeating exactly the same promises again after four years without accepting and acknowledging their woeful performance yet shamelessly and arrogantly asking Nigerians to mortgage another four years of our lives for them to gamble with."

"Incumbent president, after four years can only show Nigerians eight fingers as his only achievements and not a single road, bridge, school, hospital, power plant, water project or other infrastructure initiated and completed throughout the entire tenure," he said.

Ugochinyere added that President Buhari has by his policies and activities divided Nigeria more than ever before, set Nigeria on the worst level of economic recession and made lives and livelihood of millions of Nigerians miserable.

He noted that only Atiku's presidency will unite Nigeria, rebuild the economy and strengthen institutions of state so that Nigeria can return to the path of prosperity.

The coalition urged all Nigerians to stand strong in their collective resolve to vote for the PDP presidential candidate Atiku come February 23.  This, according to the CUPP, is to guarantee the reclamation of the country from those it described as scavengers in power who do not care if the country breaks up or burns down.
