Nigeria still a crawling giant at 64 – CUPP
CUPP spokesman, Mark Adebayo
Published By: Paul Dada
The Coalition of United Opposition Political Parties, CUPP, says Nigeria is still a crawling giant because it has been bedeviled by incompetent leadership since it gained independence 1960.
CUPP said this in a press release issued by its national Spokesperson, Comrade Mark Adebayo, on the occasion of the celebration of the country’s 64th independence anniversary.
CUPP said: ” Nigeria is in a dire mess at the moment”.
I further said: “It is difficult to congratulate Nigerians on this occasion of the 64th independence anniversary of the country because there is really nothing to celebrate. Independence is not an end in itself but was supposed to be a means to an end that translates into development, security, peace, and unity. But on all these indices, Nigeria is a crawling giant due, fundamentally, to the unfortunate succession of crude, heavily corrupt, unpatriotic, incompetent, and myopic leadership that has bedeviled this country since flag independence.

“Each administration is worse than the last one. In 1960 at independence, Nigeria held a huge promise as the giant of Africa and the light of all blacks globally with enormous potentials to be among the most developed in the comity of nations. But, alas, the foster elites that took over from the colonialists, plus the military and civilian politicians that followed them made looting of the country’s resources a fundamental policy of government.
The opposition group said: “Inflation is at all-time high while our Naira has crashed against global and African currencies. Even the currency of the Republic of Bénin is much stronger than the Naira. This is how badly this government has ruined Nigeria’s economy”.
It called on Nigerians to support the opposition in 2027 to “give Nigerians a breathing space from the current dire mess that Nigeria is in”.
