A Canadian court has designated Nigeria's two major political parties, the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), as terrorist organizations. This ruling has sparked condemnation from the PDP, which denies the allegations. The Nigerian government has formally requested the Canadian court to withdraw the designation, describing it as erroneous. The ruling has also prompted commentary from US lawyer Bruce Fein, who suggested that the decision supports the prosecution of Nigerian President Bola Tinubu rather than the separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu. Additionally, Nnamdi Kanu's lawyer has urged the Nigerian government to de-proscribe the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as a terrorist group in light of the Canadian court's decision. The ruling has generated considerable debate and is seen as a significant development affecting Nigeria's political landscape.
