The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced the closure of its National Secretariat in Abuja as a mark of respect for Nigeria’s former President, Muhammadu Buhari, who passed away on Sunday.
In a statement issued Monday in Abuja, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, said the decision was made in line with directives from the Acting National Chairman of the party, Hon. Bukar Dalori.
“The All Progressives Congress (APC) announces the closure of its National Secretariat in Abuja in honour of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR,” the statement read.
The party further disclosed that the closure will take effect from Monday, July 14, and that normal activities at the secretariat will resume on Thursday, July 17, 2025.
“As directed by the Acting National Chairman of our great Party, Hon. Bukar Dalori, the Party’s National Secretariat will be closed starting today, Monday, July 14 and will reopen on Thursday, July 17, 2025,” Morka added.
The APC urged members and supporters to observe the period of mourning with reverence.
“We urge Party faithful to use this period of national mourning for quiet reflection and prayers for the repose of the soul of our departed leader,” the party stated.
President Muhammadu Buhari, who served two terms in office from 2015 to 2023, was a founding figure in the APC and remained a central voice in Nigerian politics long after his tenure. His death has prompted an outpouring of tributes from across Nigeria and beyond, celebrating his service, discipline, and enduring influence.
