Nigerian govt rejects Canadian court ruling designating PDP, APC as terror groups
The Nigerian government has rejected a Canadian Federal Court ruling that designated certain Nigerian political parties as terrorist organizations. The ruling came in a case involving a Nigerian national seeking refugee status in Canada, with the court citing the individual's political affiliations with the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC).
The government of Nigeria criticized the ruling as reckless and unacceptable interference in its internal affairs, emphasizing that the classification was baseless and misinformed. The government expressed deep concern over the decision, which implicated entire political parties based on the actions of a few individuals.
Nigeria reaffirmed its sovereignty and highlighted its robust legal framework for political activities, cautioning its citizens against making unfounded claims to seek asylum abroad, as it could harm the country's democratic image.
