The All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) was a political party in Nigeria.
Under the leadership of Late Chief
2003 presidential election, with Chuba Okadigbo as the running mate taking second place and about 18% of the vote according to official results.[2]
The ANPP was a household party in the extreme north of
People's Democratic Party (PDP) to take control of one of the country's most populous states.[citation needed
]
Following the 2007 election, the ANPP challenged the victory of
Umaru Yar'Adua and his PDP, although it was announced on 27 June 2007 following talks, that the ANPP had agreed to join Yar'Adua's government of national unity. There was reportedly disagreement within the ANPP about the talks.[3] Buhari subsequently denounced the idea in a BBC interview and suggested that the decision was only made by part of the party, alleging that they were "just looking for jobs for themselves".[4]
In February 2013, the party merged with the Action Congress of Nigeria, the All Progressives Grand Alliance, and the Congress for Progressive Change to form the All Progressives Congress.[5]
Political ideology
The ANPP is a
Northern Nigeria.[6]
Earlier incarnation
There was a party of the same name during the Second Republic, which was banned following the military coup of 1983 led by General Buhari.
The current party (founded in 1999) shares the same name, but with little or no resemblance, affinity, or affiliation to the original ANPP.
