ADC Judgment: CUPP Accuses APC of Seeking a One-Party State

The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) condemned the ruling nullifying the African Democratic Congress (ADC) executive committee and its candidates, saying it threatens political competition in Nigeria. In a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday, it accused the ruling APC of systematically weakening opposition parties and creating conditions for a one-party state. CUPP also questioned the judiciary’s role and urged the courts to uphold the Constitution, democratic rights and political participation. The coalition declared solidarity with the ADC and other opposition groups.
