About

The All Progressives Congress (APC) was the ruling political party in Nigeria from 2015 to 2023, during the presidency of Muhammadu Buhari. It is currently newsworthy due to the ongoing political landscape and legal proceedings involving key figures from the previous administration. Recent developments include a boost to the opposition coalition challenging the APC in the upcoming election, signaled by Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso joining forces with rivals. Simultaneously, Abubakar Malami, former Attorney General under the APC administration, along with his wife and son, have been granted bail in a $6 million money laundering case. These events highlight the challenges and scrutiny the APC faces as it navigates the post-Buhari era, with corruption allegations and a strengthened opposition posing significant tests to its continued relevance and influence in Nigerian politics.
