Electoral Reform: Ex-IPAC Chairman Knocks APC

Former National Chairman of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), Peter Ameh, has criticised the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for imposing “savage majoritarian tyranny” on the National Assembly.

In a statement on Tuesday in Abuja, Ameh described APC’s actions as a direct attack on democratic principles, asserting that the party fears transparent and credible elections because it is “widely despised, thoroughly rejected, and utterly detested by the vast majority of Nigerians.”

“The brutal tyranny of the majority — that’s exactly what the APC is shamelessly inflicting on the National Assembly right now,” he said, adding that “majoritarian tyranny has no place in our democracy.”

Ameh warned that Nigerians, whom he described as “resolute and fed-up,” would hold the APC accountable at the ballot box.

He expressed confidence that the electorate would decisively defeat the party in the 2027 general elections.

The former IPAC chairman’s remarks highlight growing concern among opposition leaders over what they perceive as APC’s dominance and unilateral decision-making in the legislative arm of government.

He concluded by stressing that Nigerians are “awake” and ready to resist policies and practices that undermine democratic representation.
