In a statement on Sunday, APM National Publicity Secretary, Abubakar Yusuf, said the HRF’s Tyranny Tracker report only confirmed what the party had been saying all along. In some APC-controlled states, the party claimed, opposition figures were also being locked out of media platforms and stopped from putting up campaign billboards. AdvertisementIts concerns didn’t stop at party politics – APM took direct aim at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), questioning its credibility ahead of the 2027 polls. The party accused INEC, under chairman Prof. Josiah Amupitan, of meddling in the internal affairs of opposition parties and ignoring court orders that favoured them. “Nigerians must use the 2027 general elections as a decisive opportunity to vote in a truly democratic and people-oriented government on the platform of the APM,” the party said.
