The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has berated the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila over the investigation of its spokesman, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere on the bribe allegation to pass the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) Bill.
The CUPP, which said that Gbajabiamila is leading the House of Representatives down the path of lawlessness, added that the investigation is an attempt to harass and intimidate the opposition since it has put its act together and has been putting the government on its toes.
The CUPP, which vowed not to attend the investigating hearing, condemned the ongoing purported investigation of Ugochinyere by a Committee of the House set up by the Speaker.
addressing newsmen on Wednesday in Abuja, Kenneth Udeze, the Chairman of CUPP Contact and Mobilization and National Chairman Action Alliance said the opposition has held the government accountable and Speaker Gbajabiamila is clearly not comfortable with that, adding, “this attempt to suppress the opposition and muscle it out of the Nigerian media space will fail.
