The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has strongly criticized the recent deregistration of political parties in Nigeria. CUPP’s Acting National Chairman, Peter Ameh, labeled the move as an abuse of executive power and judicial authority. He urged Nigerians to actively oppose what he characterized as a threat to the nation’s democracy. The deregistration impacts a number of smaller political groups, potentially narrowing the field of political participation. CUPP argues that silencing political voices through such actions undermines the democratic process. The coalition fears this action sets a dangerous precedent for future political maneuvering and suppression of dissent. Vanguard News reported on Ameh’s statement, highlighting the growing concerns over the implications of the deregistration.
