Nigeria — All Progressives Congress: The Nigeria — All Progressives Congress (APC) is the ruling party in Nigeria, and some opposition figures, including Atiku Abubakar and the Nigeria — People s Democratic Party, allege that the court rulings against opposition parties are part of a coordinated effort by the APC-led government to weaken opposition ahead of the 2027 elections.
