The Conference of United Political Parties of Nigeria (CUPP) has made big revelation as per plot to buy citizens’ votes ahead of the 2023 general elections.

CUPP, in its revealations, also alleged it has uncovered plans by the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) to indulge in digital vote-buying, tagged ‘Operation Wire-Wire’ in its bid to win the 2023 polls.

The spokesperson of the association, Ikenga Ugochinyere made this revelation while addressing a press conference in Abuja on Monday.

According to Ugochinyere, the ‘Operation Wire-Wire’ was initated shortly after the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) announced plan to redesign 200, 500 and 1000 naira notes.

He further revealed that APC has compiled bank details of over 10 million voters nationwide, with the aim of inducing them with little funds to win the 2023 general elections.

The CUPP spokesperson, while lamenting the situation, described as a huge threat to the credibility and outcome of the 2023 general election, and also against the provisions of the Electoral Act.

“This plot which has now received the approval at the highest level of the APC and its Presidential Campaign Council was also designed in Imo State and exported to 21 other states of the federation requires the party’s agents harvesting names, account numbers and Voters Identification Numbers, Bank Verification Numbers of citizens and arranged in tables for each polling unit on the understanding that money will be sent to each person by electronic means to purchase their votes.”

He said in Imo and Ebonyi States, this plot was being executed under the platform Support Group Coordination, South-East, while in other parts of the region like Abia, Enugu and Anambra, it was being executed as All Progressives Congress Empowerment Form.

“In Katsina State and other parts of the North- West, the plot is being executed under the Citizens Grassroots Farmers Association, while in Ekiti State; they are operating under the Ekiti Development Front (EDF). In the North-Central, Operation Wire-Wire is being executed under the North-Central Women for Tinubu.

“In Cross River State, the details are harvested under the Forum of Tinubu Support Groups. In the rest of the country, the APC is harvesting details using the vote canvassing form”, Ugochinyere alleged.

He called on banks and the security agencies to work together by identifying the illegal transactions in the banks and report the same to the security agencies for immediate prosecution, saying there are leaked documents in possession of the opposition.

“Again we call on the Police, the DSS, and the EFCC to swing into action and arrest the harvesters of these bank details. If security agencies claim they do not know who harvested them, we now tell them to apprehend the persons whose identities are contained in these documents and, from there, get the identities of those they surrendered their personal details to,” he said.
