The All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) was a political party in Nigeria.
Under the leadership of Late Chief Edwin Ume-Ezeoke who was its vice presidential candidate to General Muhammadu Buhari in the 2007 presidential elections. The party won a paltry 32.2% of the vote behind ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP). Buhari was the ANPP candidate in the 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 Nigeria, primarily due to its mass appeal among more religious voters. It was the strongest opposition party, controlling seven of the nation's thirty-six states at one point. The party's biggest achievement in the 2003 election was its gubernatorial victory in Kano State where it defeated the ruling 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]
