BREAKING: APC Slams Canadian Court Over Terrorist Label, Calls Judge ‘Ignorant’

The ruling party in Nigeria, the All Progressives Congress (APC), has criticized a Canadian court for labeling them a terrorist organization. The Federal Court of Canada, under Justice Phuong Ngo, upheld the decision to deny asylum to Douglas Egharevba, a former member of the APC, citing alleged links to political violence in Nigeria.

The judgment was delivered on June 17, 2025, and the APC's National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, condemned the ruling, calling the judge 'ignorant' and accusing them of having a biased perspective. The APC vehemently rejects the foreign classification, stating that it undermines Nigeria's democratic institutions.

The party views the decision as an attempt by desperate and unpatriotic individuals to tarnish the country's image. The Canadian ruling has sparked strong political and diplomatic reactions, with the APC standing firm in their refusal to accept the terrorist label.
