The All Progressives Congress is one of the two major contemporary political parties in Nigeria, along with the Peoples Democratic Party.
Founded on 6 February 2013 from a merger of Nigeria’s three largest opposition parties, the party came to power following the victory of party candidate Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 presidential election. This marked the first time in Nigerian history that an opposition party unseated a governing party and power was transferred peacefully.
In 2015, the APC won the majority of seats in the Senate and the House of Representatives, though it fell shy of winning a super-majority to override the ability of PDP to block legislation.
During Buhari’s first term, waves of defections led the party to lose its federal legislative majorities in 2018, with both Senate President Bukola Saraki and House Speaker Yakubu Dogara among the dozens of lawmakers that defected to the PDP. Nonetheless, Buhari was reelected in the 2019 general election, which also saw the party solidify its majorities in both chambers.
Why I Said Buhari Will Be The Last President Under APC?
At a meeting of the National Working Committee, NWC, on Monday in Abuja, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress(APC) Senator Abdullahi Adamu has announced Senate President Ahmad Lawan as the APC consensus presidential candidate, contrary to the position of most Northern governors on the power shift to the South.
This uncalculated decision is likely to bring down the party to zero. Bola Tinubu will make sure of that. Tinubu is one of th four pillars of APC, if he is to back down, the party will fall and that’s the end of the road for them.
Lawan cannot face Atiku Abubakar, so surely power is going back to PDP and APC will never have it back again. In fact, the party will crumble.
SO if you are politically inclined, you’d know that,
Buhari Will Be The Last President Of Nigeria Under APC
