The All Progressives Congress (APC), Nigeria's ruling party, has made significant efforts to position itself as an advocate for women's inclusion in the political sphere. This is evident through various initiatives, including public statements, policy documents, and the introduction of discounted nomination forms aimed at encouraging female candidates. Additionally, the party has frequently referenced the 35 percent affirmative action principle to underscore its commitment to gender sensitivity. However, the actual electoral outcomes and representation of women within the party raise questions about the effectiveness of these promises in practice.
