Following the 2007 election, the ANPP challenged the victory of Umaru Yar'Adua and his People's Democratic Party, although it was announced on June 27, 2007, following talks, that the ANPP had agreed to join Yar'Adua's government. There was reportedly disagreement within the ANPP about the talks.〔Tom Ashby, ("Nigerian opposition agrees to join government" ), Reuters (''IOL''), June 27, 2007.〕 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".〔("Nigeria opposition move condemned" ), BBC News, June 28, 2007.〕 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. ==Political ideology== The ANPP is a right-wing conservative party with mass appeal.
