The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has fired back at Justice Phuong Ngo of the Federal Court of Canada for labelling the party and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as terrorist organizations.
This is as the ruling party described the judge as an
ignoramus.
Recall that a Canadian court had upheld a ruling
that classified the APC and the PDP as terrorist organizations, while denying
asylum to a former member, Douglas Egharevba, over his decade-long affiliation
with both parties.
In a judgment delivered on June 17, 2025, Justice Ngo had
dismissed Egharevba’s application for judicial review after the Immigration
Appeal Division, IAD, found him inadmissible under Canada’s Immigration and
Refugee Protection Act, IRPA.
“The presiding judge must be an ignoramus! We are not party
to the suit, and the court has no jurisdiction to determine the status of a Nigerian-recognized
political party, not to talk of declaring it as a terrorist organization,” said
APC scribe, Senator Ajibola Basiru.
According to him, the APC is a credible democratic political
organization.
“It is unfortunate that some desperate and unpatriotic
Nigerians will allow the name of the country to be brought to unpalatable
commentary by racist judges on account of a self-contrived application for
asylum.
“The so-called judgement was obviously delivered from a
jaundiced perspective and within the narrow confines of determining eligibility
for asylum by an applicant.
“The APC is a credible democratic political organization and
does not seek legitimacy from a foreign bench and under a law that has no
extraterritorial application,” he said.
