Cupp says what Nigeria needs at this time are capable hands and asked Nigerians to rise against the move by the government.
The coalition noted that as the value of the naira gradually move to n400 per dollar, the borrowing will amount to n9.8 trillion.
Cupp says it has written to the lenders on the negative impact of such loan even as it approached the court to halt federal government move.
