Meanwhile, Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has praised the decision of a federal capital territory (FCT) high court for refusing to sack Mahmood Yakubu, chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
One Emmanuel Agonsi had asked the court for an injunction compelling Yakubu to step aside from office pending the conclusion of a probe against the INEC chairperson over alleged false asset declaration.

In the suit, Agonsi also asked the court to bar the INEC chairman from holding office for the next 10 years.
But the court threw out the case on grounds that there was nothing wrong with the asset declaration form of Yakubu.
In a chat with reporters on Wednesday, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, CUPP spokesperson, said the judiciary has proven to be the last hope of the common man.
