THE National Leader of the Progressive People Alliance PPA, Mr Godwin Ezeemo, said the serial killings in some part of the country, unfair treatment and the use of security agencies against the political opponent by the ruling All Progressive Congress APC, led- Federal Government is the brain behind the party alliance with the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP).

According to him, he said I am very displeased with the present Administration of President Mohammadu Buhari, which incessant killings in some part of the country, Kidnapping on our highways, insult on our National Lawmakers by the operative of the DSS, intimidation and
harassment of political oppositions has become the order of the day.

In fact, he continues, the political tension in the country has reached the stage when the slogan and definition of Democracy as the government of the people, by the people and for the people is no longer functioning, because of the fears instituted by the present APC
Government.

Ezeemo, who called on all eligible voters for the forthcoming 2019 general elections to make use of their PVCs wisely for the interest of Nigeria democracy, advises other Coalition members to be credible in selection of presidential candidate, because whoever will unseat the incumbent President, such a person will be capable in all ramification and will be acceptable by all Nigerians, also all parties to the alliance should support not only a sole presidential candidate but sole governorship, senatorial, House of Representatives, as well as state House of Assemblies candidates across all states of the federation, he added.
