Founded on 6 February 2013 from a merger of Nigeria's three largest opposition parties, the party came to power following the victory of party candidate Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 presidential election.

Nonetheless, Buhari was reelected in the 2019 general election ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
