Following the passage of the Electoral Act Amendment Bill on Tuesday by the 10th National Assembly, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has berated the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for undermining Nigeria’s democracy.

In a statement issued on its verified X handle on Wednesday by the spokesperson of the ADC, Bolaji Abdullahi, the party alleged that despite having almost all state governors under its control, the APC was still apprehensive about conducting a free and fair election.

According to the statement, the level of impunity displayed by the ruling party was troubling, warning that it should not be allowed to become “the death of our democracy.”
