In honour of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced the temporary closure of its National Secretariat in Abuja.

 

Buhari, who passed away on Sunday in a London hospital after a prolonged illness, led Nigeria from 2015 to 2023 and was a founding member of the APC.

 

A statement issued on Monday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, said the directive came from the Acting National Chairman, 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 noted that the closure would take effect from Monday, July 14, with normal activities scheduled to resume on Thursday, July 17, 2025.

 

The APC also called on its members and supporters nationwide to observe the mourning period with dignity and solemn reflection.

 

“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 statement added.

 

President Muhammadu Buhari remained a towering figure in Nigerian politics, even after leaving office. Known for his firm stance on anti-corruption and national discipline, his passing has drawn tributes from across political lines, praising his legacy of patriotism, leadership, and service.

 

As the nation mourns, the APC joins millions of Nigerians in paying final respects to a leader who shaped the party’s rise and the country’s recent democratic journey.
