The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has expressed concern over reports alleging that civil servants in many states are being pressured to participate in the ongoing All Progressives Congress (APC) e-registration exercise.

A statement on Sunday by Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC spokesperson, alleged that the directive was coming from the national leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The ADC described the practice as economic coercion and forced membership, saying it violated the constitutional right to freedom of association.

The party said the reports suggested a “coordinated attempt to compel public servants to surrender their freedom of association as a condition for job security, career progression, or continued access to livelihood. This is unacceptable in a democratic society,” the statement reads. Punch
