all progressives congress

All Progressives Congress (APC) is a major political party in Nigeria. Formed in February 2013 through the merger of several opposition groups—including the Action Congress of Nigeria, the Congress for Progressive Change, the All Nigeria Peoples Party, and a faction of the All Progressives Grand Alliance—it positioned itself as a centre‑right, reform‑oriented alternative to the long‑ruling People’s Democratic Party. The APC won the 2015 presidential election, bringing Muhammadu Buhari to office, and has since held the presidency and a significant share of seats in the National Assembly. Its platform emphasizes anti‑corruption, economic diversification, security, and infrastructure development. Views Nigeria
