A Canadian court's designation of Nigeria's ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), as a terrorist organization is a damning international indictment. While the ruling may shock some, it underscores growing global concern over the APC’s ties to political violence, armed militias, and the steady erosion of democratic norms.

For years, APC politicians have been linked to the sponsorship of terrorist groups including Boko Haram, armed bandits, killer herdsmen and ethnic militias often disguised as vigilantes. During elections, thugs, hoodlums, and agberos are routinely unleashed to intimidate voters, snatch ballots, and sabotage the democratic process. Infamous statements like “grab, snatch, and run” have normalized electoral terrorism in Nigeria.

Beyond the ballot box, Nigeria is witnessing a total criminal state capture. Key institutions legislature, judiciary, security forces etc have been compromised. The misuse of state power, including unconstitutional declarations of states of emergency and the unlawful removal of elected institutions, borders on political terrorism. These acts have further destabilized an already fragile democracy.

This ruling should not be dismissed as foreign interference. It must be seen as a wake-up call a moment for deep national reflection. The APC must address its internal rot and sever ties with violent actors. Nigerians must rise above partisan loyalty to demand real accountability and an end to political violence.

This is no longer just about the APC, it is about the soul of the Nigerian state. The time for denial is over. The time for truth, introspection, and urgent reform is now.

I, as an individual has severed all ties with anyone affiliated with the terrorist APC.

This cannot win you election. You are just wasting your time.

Present us with the court documents that declared Apc as a terrorist party.

You guys only re circulate any information you get from your WhatsApp group without processing it logically

If your response to evidence of terrorism, election thuggery, and the total criminal hijack of a nation is ‘this won’t win you elections,’ then you’re obviously part of the rot. You’re not defending a party, you’re enabling a system that thrives on impunity and terror

Well, make I also remind you of this below

If APC gets labeled a terrorist party and it gets international backing, there could be serious consequences for members and known supporters. It could lead to visa bans, deportations, even cancellation of green cards and citizenship of foreign countries and so on, in multiple countries.

This is true, right?

Fake News
There is no such case on the Canada Federal Courts Website

Kenyan court says a British figure was extraordinarily renditioned to nija and you don't feel it's sufficient enough to be called terrorism, because the judgement is from Africa abi?

There are court documents already, which contains the supreme court judgement of nigeria and Kenya, where it acknowledged international kidnap of a British citizen... in line with the Terrorism prevention and Prohibition Act of nija

A British figure created in Abia State Nigeria, is promoting terrorism in Africa?

He should be dealt with severely, they will come to Africa, create chaos, then runaway back to their bases, when inferno begins.

It seems The APC has made u lose any sense of reasoning that u may have possessed, what kind of nonsense is this?

U want to tell the oyibo man, that your President & ruling party are Terrorists, but that u opposition member seeking for refugee isn’t a runaway terrorist also?

But Simon Ekpa was arrested, even members of the Nazi party were found and prosecuted decades after the incident happened.

Why is the Canadian court not justified? Innocent People executed in benue and plateau states under the watch of the APC - muslim- muslim ticket in the past few months alone surpass what other terrorist groups around the world have achieved in the same time period. Mind how you associate with apc on social media because you may be denied visa tomorrow because of associating with terrorists group.

Labelled by who? With which court documents? Why is it that you guys are not even interested in processing any news before swallow them

@OP.

It is you and your kinsmen who needs to "look within" per your penchant for always rushing unobjectively and automatically to demarket your nation by supporting whatever/whoever wrongs her.

As I said when the first thread about this topic appeared, what the Canadian judge did is wrong and a judgement beyond his jurisdiction to reach. See below and especially note the position of International law.

I,ve stated it before that Nigeria merely needs to officially petion the AGF of Canada to get this nonsense repealed and the judge sanctioned.

A nation cannot declare the Political Parties of another Sovereign nation, to include her ruling Party that has produced her President or head of State, as terrorists.

Commonsense should tell you that the Canadian Government offically recognised the legitimacy of our democracy, Presidency and ruling Party.

This is why Canada is a diplomatic and trading partner with Nigeria to the extent our nation is the largest trading partner of Canada in Africa.

How can a judge within Canada then declare what the Canadian Government has not done and has no power to do?

The conduct of political parties of sovereign nation is their internal affairs in the eyes of International law.


It speaks volume, negatively, of you people from а certain ethnic group that at no stage at all do you feel compelled to defend Nigeria even when it is obvious she has been wronged.

Rather you rush to declare every illegality against her as valid and in order. Yet you want one of your one to be President of a nation you clearly hate. What a joke.

Your long-winded ránt is a classic case of dodging substance with emotion, misinformation, and tired tribal dog whistles.

Listen, criticizing a government isn’t the same as hating the country. That kind of logic is not only flawed, it's dangerous. If you think patriotism means blind loyalty to politicians or parties especially just because the politician is from your tribe then you're making a serious mistake. “A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.”

Now, your take on international law is frankly embarrassing. Judges in democratic countries are independent they don’t need clearance from trade departments or foreign ministries to rule on asylum or terrorism-related claims. That’s basic civics.

If you truly believe the Canadian judge overstepped, then go through the proper legal channels. Canada has a functioning legal system with appeal mechanisms. But calling for a judge to be sanctioned simply because the ruling exposes your political party or the political party you support shows a deep misunderstanding of how the rule of law works.

Dragging in ethnicity every time your argument collapses isn’t just lazy, it’s toxic. If your defense of APC relies on tribal scapegoating, then maybe it’s your party that seriously needs to look within.

And since you mentioned “demarketing Nigeria”. let’s be honest: no one has done more damage to Nigeria’s image than the very government you defend. You can’t have a dlórd, idéntity thiéf, certificáte fórgér, and buccaneering crîmînál power-grabber leading the ruling party and by extension, the country and then pretend it’s critics who are the problem.

If the world is now linking APC to terrorism, maybe that’s not sabotage from the outside. Maybe it’s accountability knocking from the inside.

Crystal clear, with many examples here, you are the one with a penchant for embarrassing himself because of poor knowledge and lack of intellectual discernment.

Commonsense even a kid should possess will reveal to most that your talk of judges in democratic Countries being "independent" is ignorant and unintelligent hogwash because Courts and judges have jurisdictional restrictions.

It is as simple as that in this case also because a judge or Court in Canada lacks the power to declare a Nigerian political Party a terrorist entity.

Only the Government of Canada has that power. Look below to see confirmation.

With that out of the way, can you see you have again confirmed my point about you and your co-travellers because you automatically endorse what is wrongdoing against Nigeria, assuming such has even been formally verified to begin with, to then launch into a sanctimonious diatribe via creating a completely unnecessary thread.

Correctly notified that you are wrong, your response is to double down and carry on with obtuse defence of your incorrect declaration.

Of course a person who hates Nigeria would always insist any negative indictment of our nation is factual and accurate rather than do a few seconds of research to note if indeed, as others have cited, Nigeria and perhaps a Nigerian,i.e Mr. Douglas Egharevba, have been wronged.

Is it not obvious, as I stated before, your lack of objectivity towards Nigeria, with your clear preference for automatically insisting the purported Court judgements is correct, appears steeped in prejudice against our nation?

Don't mind them. Hate is a powerful emotion that destroys commonsense, capacity for objective thinking and most importantly intellectual discernment.

See the meaning of intellectual discernment below to note it is the reason even their professors, with hate for others compromising their thinking, turn into intellectually blind followers of Kanu and Ekpa's propaganda.

A court in Canada cannot declare Nigerian Political Parties terrorist as the ignorant and excitable OP, plus his many co-travellers, insist is the case.

We know why they are desperate to insist what appears, to them as damning indictment against the "Zoo" is factual and in order whereas it is not.

When you have lost the capacity of intellectual discernment then your thinking is no longer expansive and progressively inquisitive. It is prejudiced and a liability.

Their desperation to believe what is outrightly incorrect speaks volumes about their zeal to always and automatically celebrate what appears to discredit/demarket Nigeria.

What the OP claimed, as the excerpt from his original post shows below, is flat wrong because a Canadian Court lacks the power and jurisdictional authority to make such a declaration.

Yet we all know why they all rushed to celebrate ignorantly and prematurely when even a few seconds of research would have prevented them making a fool of themselves.

This is same display of illiteracy that a SAN wanted to use to dismiss an order that binta recused herself from MNK's trial, using a mere memo from CJ of high court.. instead of appealing the case.

The court further upheld the IAD’s conclusion that both parties’ actions fit the definition of “terrorism” under Canadian law, stating that the violence was designed to “intimidate the public or a segment of the public… for a political objective.”

While acknowledging that both PDP and APC have engaged in unlawful practices, the IAD had found that the PDP committed the majority of the acts and benefited most from them, especially during its 16 years in power
