2027: Severe repercussions await senators, reps defecting to APC, says CHRICED

The Resource Centre for Human Rights and Civic Education (CHRICED) has warned that ahead of the 2027 elections, the gale of defection by opposition legislators to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) will have severe repercussions on Nigeria’s democracy.

The organisation expressed concerns that the country’s democracy was being undermined by the consolidation of power within a single party, which it said could stifle political discourse and limit the choice of Nigerians.
