Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress (APC) national youth leader, Sadiq S. Abubakar, on Monday, July 9, dismissed the newly formed Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) and its sponsors, describing them as 'brief case political parties.'

He said the sponsors of the coalition as serial election losers, who specialize in jumping from one party to another, adding that President Muhammadu Buhari won't be perturbed by their existence.

Abubakar went on to say the postulation that his party will suffer defeat in the 2019 elections only exists in the figment of imagination of members of the coalition.
