The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has criticised the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) over the controversial passage of the Electoral Act Amendment Bill by the National Assembly.
Reacting on Wednesday, ADC spokesperson Bolaji Abdullahi accused the governing party of actions he said could weaken democratic institutions in Nigeria.
In a post shared on his X account, Abdullahi described the situation as troubling, warning that the conduct of the ruling party should not be allowed to threaten the country’s democratic future.
He argued that despite controlling a large number of state governments, the APC appeared uneasy about the prospect of free and fair elections.
According to him, Nigerians would resist any attempt to undermine democratic processes, noting that the country had faced similar political tensions in the past.
“With this level of impunity, we pray that the APC does not become the death of our democracy,” he wrote.
“Almost all the governors are in their party, yet they are afraid of a free and fair election. But Nigerians will never surrender to tyranny. We have seen this before.”
