Opposition political parties under the aegis of theCoalition of United Political Parties have vowed not to recognise MuhammaduBuhari as Nigeria’s President beyond May 29, 2019. They said they would ensure, within civil means,that Buhari did not enjoy what they called a stolen mandate based on hisdeclaration as the winner of last Saturday’s presidential election. The coalition’s national spokesman, Imo Ugochinyere,made the political parties’ position known in a statement made available tojournalists in Abuja on Wednesday. Ugochinyere urged Nigerians to continue to supportopposition parties in their quest to retrieve the mandate for the rightfulowner. Ugochinyere said that there is evidence nationwidethat the 2019 presidential election was a clear departure from the electoralgains made in 2015. He said it was glaring that the ruling AllProgressives Congress massively stole votes and suppressed votes of theopposition to such an extent that the election is the worst since Nigeria’sreturn to democracy 1999.
