The All Progressives Congress (APC) has made it clear that the Electoral Act should not be attributed solely to them as a political party but recognized as a national document created by the constitutionally valid National Assembly. This statement comes from the party's National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, who during an interview argued against the opposition’s characterization of the act as being influenced by the ruling party. He underlined that the legislative process is distinct from party politics, highlighting a misunderstanding by the opposition regarding how laws are formulated in a democratic country.

Morka went further to challenge the opposition's narrative, labeling it as ‘flawed,’ and urged political actors to understand that all parties are governed by the same legal framework established by the National Assembly. He emphasized that the APC does not seek to intimidate, and insists that the act was legitimately established through the NASS's constitutional authority. The party is also subject to the provisions of the electoral law, particularly regarding the compulsory electronic registration for political parties.

This clarification reflects the ongoing tensions in Nigeria's political environment, especially as parties prepare for the upcoming elections. The APC's insistence on the neutral nature of the Electoral Act serves to distance them from direct blame while fostering a narrative that positions them as upholding democratic principles. This statement may influence public opinion regarding the integrity of the electoral process as various factions debate their roles in shaping electoral legislation.
