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

The former president passed away on Sunday in a London hospital after a prolonged illness, prompting a wave of national mourning.

According to a statement issued on Monday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, the closure was directed by 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.

Morka added that the closure takes effect from Monday, July 14, with normal activities scheduled to resume on Thursday, July 17, 2025.

The party called on members and supporters to observe the mourning period with solemnity and 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,” it stated.

President Buhari, who led Nigeria from 2015 to 2023, was a founding figure of the APC and remained an influential voice in national affairs long after leaving office. His death has been met with an outpouring of tributes celebrating his legacy of service, discipline, and dedication to the country.
