A court has ordered the dissolution of the All Progressives Congress (APC) party's chapters operating in the United Kingdom and other foreign countries. The ruling also mandates that the APC disclose all donations it has received from sources outside Nigeria.

According to the court's decision, the APC and other political parties must notify the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and provide a full accounting of any donations received from abroad. This notification and disclosure must occur within 21 days of the ruling, in accordance with provisions in the Nigerian constitution.

The court's order addresses concerns about foreign funding of domestic political parties. By requiring transparency in international donations and eliminating overseas party chapters, the ruling establishes clearer regulatory oversight of the APC's international financial activities and organizational structure.
