ADC accuses APC of forcing civil servants into party
ADC claims APC pressures Nigerian civil servants to join its digital membership via job-related coercion, calling it state-sponsored conscription and a threat to civil service neutrality.
- The ADC says civil servants are being coerced by the APC national leadership to register in the ongoing e-registration exercise, with reports from several states and a statement signed by Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi.
- On motive, the ADC says reports link APC digital membership to job security, career progression, and payroll measures, warning coerced databases do not reflect genuine political support.
- Referencing the Constitution, the ADC said compelling any Nigerian to join a party is a gross violation of fundamental human rights and threatens the neutrality of the Nigerian civil service.
- The ADC urged oversight by the Nigeria Data Protection Commission, labour unions, civil society organisations and the international community, warning of potential abuse of power and data privacy violations.
- Framing the issue broadly, the ADC said `state-sponsored conscription` of civil servants creates a `paper tiger` that cannot mask public alienation or government failures.
