(Reuters) – Nigerian former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, a leading ally of President Muhammadu Buhari, quit the ruling All Progressives Congress party on Friday, he said in a statement.
Abubakar said the ruling party had instituted “a regime of a draconian clampdown on all forms of democracy within the party and the government it’s produced”.
