Answer Details
The political party with the widest spread membership in Nigeria during the Second Republic was the NPN (National Party of Nigeria). The NPN had a strong support base across the country, particularly in the northern region. It was able to win the presidential election in 1979 and retained power until the military coup in 1983. The party's success was partly due to its ability to form alliances with other political parties and interest groups, as well as its effective use of patronage and political mobilization strategies.
