Did Canadian Court Declare APC Terrorist Organisation? Ruling Govt Speaks
The ruling government of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nigeria has denied claims that a Canadian court declared the party a terrorist organization. The statement came in response to reports following a June 17, 2025 judgment that denied asylum to a Nigerian national with ties to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and later the APC.
The court filing cited incidents of political violence and subversion involving both parties, leading to the conclusion that mere membership in an organization linked to terrorism or subversion could trigger inadmissibility under Canadian law. The APC has refuted the claims, calling them false and misleading, while the Nigerian government has urged Canadian authorities to retract the designation.
The situation has raised concerns about the potential consequences of such a ruling on democratic processes.
