    LAGOS, Nigeria – The Coalition of United Political Parties(CUPP) has alleged that the Federal Government has earmarked $15 million USD to bribe lawmakers who are resuming on Tuesday to unseat President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki and his deputy, Dr. Ike Ekweremadu.

    A statement, signed by Ist National Spokesperson of CUPP, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere noted that agents of the Federal Government have set aside, Sen. Ahmed Lawan as Senate President, while Senator Hope Uzodinma will be his deputy.

    Besides, the CUPP said House Majority Leader, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila will be imposed as Speaker of the House of Representatives, while Hon. Abdulmumin Jibril will be his deputy.

    The statement added that the $15 million will be shared in a manner that each senator in support of the move will go home with $70,000 USD and $40,000 USD for members of the House of Representatives.

    “To ensure the plot goes successfully, the Federal Government has mapped out the sum of $70, 000 for each Senator and $40, 000 for each House member for what it called welfare since majority of them will be compelled to be in town suddenly. The money for the bribes have already been released to Senator Lawan and Hon. Gbajabiamila for onward distribution to their members as they return. The money amounting to $15million ($8million for the House and $7 million for the Senate) was sourced from NNPC, CBN, NDDC, NPA, NIMASA, a commercial bank and a company the owner of whom is a member of the cabal”, the CUPP alleged.

    He added that Sen. Saraki, the Senate President, Sen Ike Ekweremmadu the Deputy Senate President, Sen. Ben Bruce and Sen. Dino Melaye, Biodun Olujimi, Hon. Dogara, Kingsley Chinda, Nnena Ukeje among others would be stopped by security agents from gaining entry into the National Assembly.

    “Thugs have been mobilized from Plateau, Kwara and Kogi to mount protest at the gates of the National assembly and have the approval to attack and disperse any group that come to hold a counter rally”, the CUPP said, adding that the arrowheads of this treasonable plot in the National Assembly include Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege, Sen. Abdullahi Adamu, Ali Ndume, George Akume and Kabiru Gaya. While the members of the House who are part of this plot to destroy democracy include Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, Hon. Abdulmimin Jubril and Hon. Agbonayima.

    “They claim they have taken over the Media!
    They claim they have taken over the judiciary!
    They claim they have taken over the INEC!
    They claim they are now taking over the Legislature!”, he said and urged Nigerians to wake up.
